Radio Mano, Papa Chango I'm going to be. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Tendentially speaking.

Yes, yet another episode. How long will he keep doing this? I don't know.

I don't know. This is new territory for me. I don't think I've ever done anything this long.

I guess I like it. This episode, very special episode.

This is, um, reminiscing about my uncle Dan, who some of you may know from previous episode,

specifically.

Episode, um, boy, let me pull this up real quickly.

Episode 192 was with Uncle Dan.

And then episode 640.

Looks like that one was the one I recorded shortly after he died in February.

Episode 512 was with my Uncle Dan and his sister, my aunt, Dorothy Ann.

So those are the episodes that I've done around Uncle Dan previously,

with and about him. And this episode is with my cousin David, Dorothy Ann's son,

talking about how Uncle Dan influenced our lives. And I think for both of us, he was kind of a

surrogate father. In my case, my father lived, well, you know, until seven years ago, roughly. So he was around and my parents were

together. Um, but Dan was a different kind of guy than my father. So he was, you know, not really

surrogate, I guess, but, uh, um, additional. Uh, he was, you know, he did things and understood

things that my own father didn't. And, you know, he did things and understood things that my own father didn't.

And, you know, like a lot of, they were different kinds of men. You know, my dad was a writer.

He was a thinker. He was a reader. He was much more in the world of the mind. And Dan is, was more in the world of the mind and um dan is was more in the world of material things he was more um you know

about fixing things and um flying airplanes and building houses and uh he was definitely much more of

a uh how to say this.
