Dan Southard is a true gentleman from the old school, with some amazing personal history. He probably doesn't realize it, but he's one of my heroes.
(Think, an intelligent version of Forrest Gump -- someone who
was there when ...)
Don't let him get started on his war stories. He'll raise the hairs on the back of your neck and have you laughing at the same time. Especially, don't let him tell you why he hates communists. I'm still haunted...
