Great piece. Dan is a very talented guy. I remember him coordinating elaborate stage productions at Paly when we were students. Glad to see he never lost his enthusiastic attitude!

I wish the companies in and around Shoreline would open up their parking lots - even for a small fee - for fireworks spectators. Some even had their sprinklers running during the show spraying all pedestrian spectators on the sidewalk.
