Me and Dan
I spent a key period of my youth “helping” Dan and my mom, Jinx Dowd, doing office chores for the Human Affairs Program. Mostly my help was the sort that involves things like walking around and around a long table collating the Organizers Notebook, but there was also sign-making and showing up for the body count at protests.
What did Dan teach me personally? A lot has already been said about driving with Dan, but I’ll just add two words – Alfa Romeo. He also taught me to drink like an Irishman, and could be I drank him under the table during one St. Pat’s day pub crawl. That’s how good a teacher he is.
