What can I say? I met Dan when we worked on "BIG WEDNESDAY" for John Milius, later at the Willis Bros house I was living at on the North Shore, and recently in Vegas with our friend Ron Frederico...a class act and one of the best ever!
After my father died, I had the luck somebody found and returned my lost originals from a swap meet too.
I saw Jocko today at Coffee Gallery in Haleiwa..doing a new roof!
Buttons, Bernie Baker...all great guys I'm lucky to know.
Small world, huh?
