A sad note, I heard yesterday that Dan Kirkland has passed away.

Everyone who has ever been to Sauble Beach knows Dan. Maybe not by name, but every one of us knew him or knew of him. He was one of those always-everywhere community volunteers, on hand at every raffle table, helping to set up or tear down for every concert, every special event, every special day that was part of anyone's memory of the beach for more years than I'd want to count, they were almost always in some way brought to you by Dan Kirkland.
