Sending Love for the Season

2009-12-25T02:45:30Z

Dear friends and family,
Just wanted to get off a quick note to send our love and wish you all
happy holidays and all the best for 2010. We also wanted to share two
photos of our twin granddaughters, Sadie and Sophie Owens, born May
5th of this year:
1) Twins and Twins - I came home from shopping the other day to find

Ofersures Article Featuring Danny

2009-07-24T05:29:44Z

Dear friends and family,
Just a quick heads up about a very sweet article about The Ofersures
(Danny's old bandmates) in our local paper, THE EASY READER, in which
Danny figures prominently and fondly. Check it out, and check out the
band on iTunes or MySpace if you haven't done so already.
Love,

Danny - Four Years Ago

2009-07-16T21:03:42Z

Dear family and friends,
Early tomorrow morning at one a.m. it will be four years since Danny's
accident. I won't even try to summarize all we've been through and all
we're still going through in this brief email. I've begun work on a
book about our adventure and have been struck all over again by the

One Year Ago...

2009-05-17T18:26:24Z

Dear family and friends,
A year ago today, on a warm afternoon, I moved Danny in his wheelchair
out to the backyard. I was reading "The Ramayana" to him when I
noticed he was sweating and clammy. I checked his blood pressure and
it was way too low, so Lynn and I took him to the hospital, figuring

The Twins Have Arrived

Dear family and friends,
What a great pleasure it is to send out some wonderful news to all of
you who have given so much love and support to Danny and our family
the past four years. Danny’s nieces, Sadie Grace Owens and Sophia
Amelie Owens, were born at 2:22 and 2:23 a.m. Tuesday morning, May 5th.

Danny News, 11/5/08

Dear family and friends,
We've been thinking about so many of you these past several days, and
about Danny who last February, when asked for his presidential
preference, painstakingly moved his left hand to touch "Obama" written
on a dry-erase board and was certified by an official poll worker as

Danny's Memorials

Tuesday, 8/12
Dear family and friends,
We had another wonderful program for Danny this past Saturday in New
London, New Hampshire (described below) and soon we'll head to Myrtle
Beach, SC, for the last of the four gatherings. If you can join us in
Myrtle Beach, it's this coming Saturday, August 16th, from 2 to 5 pm at:

Danny News - Correction to Myrtle Beach Program

2008-07-19T23:29:24Z

Dear friends and family,
Apparently, I had the wrong address for the August 16th program at the
Myrtle Beach Shrine Club. The correct address is:
Myrtle Beach Shrine Club
9589 N. Kings Highway
Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
The Club is only about a mile south of Meher Center, on the right of
the highway, whereas the address I had is a long way away. So this is

Danny News, 7/17/08

2008-07-18T20:43:11Z

Written on Thursday, three years since Danny's accident; sent out on
Friday, two months since his passing...
Dear family and friends,
Danny's "accident" occurred in the early morning hours of July 17,
2005, three years ago today. The three years now seem like a dream.
When we remember Danny, it's usually pre-injury: playing his guitar;

Father's Day with Danny

2008-06-15T15:58:33Z

Dear friends and family,
Danny passed four weeks ago today, and not surprisingly some people
have been concerned about how I'll cope on my first Father's Day
without Danny since 1984. I'm fairly stunned to report that I feel
very very good today.
The skeptic in me often tamps down suggestions of mystical

A Weekend for Danny, Pt. 2

2008-06-09T05:44:06Z

Dear friends and family,
We continue to be grateful for the inpouring of emails, cards, flowers
and love that have kept us afloat these past three weeks since Danny
passed.
We've pinned down the dates of the programs back east: SATURDAY,
AUGUST 9th, from 2 to 5 pm, we'll remember Danny in the Hall of the

A Weekend for Danny, Pt. 1

2008-06-05T16:30:19Z

Dear friends and family,
When I went out to get the L.A. Times this morning, I found our local
paper THE EASY READER had also been delivered. On the front page is
the headline OH DANNY BOY and a large color photo of Danny holding the
umbrella with a sly grin in the rain at his cousin Eruch's wedding,

Danny's Memorial Programs

2008-05-30T17:19:47Z

Dear family and friends,
A couple of friends have written because I left out the actual dates
of the Memorial Programs this weekend. So to clear up any confusion,
here's the information again:
SATURDAY, MAY 31st (tomorrow) - 7 to 10 pm - O'Donnell Hall directly
east of American Martyrs Church, 624 15th St, Manhattan Beach, CA

Danny's Memorial Programs

2008-05-25T23:24:49Z

Dear family and friends,
We've firmed up dates and locations for Danny's memorials. After
consideration, we decided the weather is too unpredictable for an
outdoor program, so we've planned two indoor occasions.
We'll have one on Saturday evening, here in Manhattan Beach, at the
local Catholic Church hall. The pastor of American Martyrs Church,
