Dan O'Connell

A few weeks ago Franck- “ouidjat’ - PMed me asking if had heard from Dan recently. Specifically, his absence was noted from the and other discussion boards on topics that would naturally have drawn his attention. I reached out to him but no response.

Thus I was stunned to learn today from Marc Proulx on Facebook that Dan had passed away last June (!). I am completely stunned by this news!

Dan suffered from MS and early last year moved from Oregon to Texas for better weather that asssted his health. I last chatted with Dan in the late spring and we shared a keen interest in the Me 262. Since the publication of his book I have been working with him to update his files, essentially his original book's manuscript for possibly an updated/revised edition.

God, where done one begin to process this terrible news. RIP Dan, and your beloved Jean.

Hi David,
Wish you or someone can get his files and publish revised edition. Dan would be pleased.
