Sep 27 Reggie Kenner, I just received this text from Carolyn Shea.

Thank you for your lovely letter about your experiences with Dan in Viet Nam and the photo of the two of you. Dan always enjoyed the mini reunions in Newbury Park, getting together to reunite, reminisce and tell stories. A celebration of life is in the early planning stages. A date has been set on Saturday, November 23, 2024 (no time yet) at the Ventura County Air Unit where Dan worked for 27 years. I’ll let you know as more details are decided. With sincere appreciation for your letter.

Remembrances

Reggie Kenner

Original Lancer crewmen Gene Parks and Terry Willman were with Dan at Ft Carson and came to Camp Evans with him. Dan and Gene DEROSed back to Ft Carson as well. 

The three of us had visited with Dan and Carolyn at their home in Newbury Park a few times in the past several years. Dan had suffered a stroke several years ago and was not at the top of his game but still doing well and was great fun.

I worked with Dan at the Ventura County Sheriff's Department for many years until my transfer to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Dan was a close friend and neighbor.

During my career, I've known and worked with two other Lancers, so it is important for me to get in contact with Dan Lanier and/ or Gary Yates to advise them of his passing.

If you are in contact with Dan Lanier and/or Gary Yates, could you please pass my contact information to both of them so that I can pass along any information regarding his services?

Thank you for your time.
