Erleen, Dana, Tammy, Scott and Todd:
Danne was a wonderful human being. He was an advocate for students when he served on the B-ESD Board. He cared deeply about our community. When I became the superintendent he reached out to offer support. He checked on me every year and gave me words of encouragement-always positive. He will be missed. My best to all of you.
