in honor of John.

"ONE SHOE CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE." Cinderella
I met John in The Village the day he and Janice moved into their new Villa. He was carrying boxes of shoes, no clothes just shoes. I was so curious, not normally a nosey neighbor but I could not resist asking him where his shoes were! He answered "NO room for shoes for him because Janice had sooo many." John's since of humor made me laugh and so did he and that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Rest in Peace, my friend. Shirley Ann Lennox

When I first came to Dover AFB, then Colonel Danahy was the Vice Commander. One of his jobs was to hear complaints through the IG system. If he had a female complainant, he would call me to his office to sit in the back as an observer. I felt he was far ahead of his time to not only protect the woman but also himself. He gave me sage words of wisdom that I have passed on to countless people. He said: "it's not your new boss' job to conform to your management style but for you to conform to his or hers". I found him to be such an honorable man. I will always be indebted to him for helping me transition to Dover AFB. His smile and his sense of humor could light up a room. A role model to many.
