Merry Christmas Dan! Thank you for unwittingly & unknowingly adding a dimension to my life which I had never known existed. Your terrific blog has brought back memories of 60 years in Westport, a very special place to us all, a place I had rarely thought of anymore. Through you I’ve reconnected with old friends and met new; a true gift for today which I value greatly. The package all this arrives in every day is wrapped in the paper & ribbons of your intelligent, curious, compassionate, timely & fair attitude to everyone. Best wishes to you for 2017. Keep up the great work!
Bonnie, that is so sweet! THANKS for being part of our great “06880” community — here, and in cyberspace. I’m glad you’ve found us, and honored to be part of your world.
Best wishes to you, and to all who are here!
The very best to you Dan and to all a Merry Christmas1
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones, from Nina Streitfeld
Thanks, Dan. A wonderful way to begin this special day. Blessings throughout the years.
THANKS, Frank, Nina, Michael and all the others. I’m thinking of all in our “06880” community — physical and cyber, here and gone — today.
Happy Happy and Merry Merry to you Dan…I can’t wait to jump out of bed and have my coffee with 06880 every morning…you have made my life a richer one…Thank you from your everlovin’ fan, Audrey D
,
A Happy Chanukah wish coming to you Dan from Boca Raton. I have been living here for 12 years but will always feel connected to Westport and you make that connection so real each day. Happy New Year too!
Hi Dan
I lived in Westport in the 90’s when my husband
was alive. Moved back from Manhattan
a year ago. I so appreciate your blogs. I feel a
part of the town again.
Thank you, Dan! To you and all of your 06880’ers everywhere!
Thank YOU, Susan. Feliz Navidad to you, Jose and the kids — from one of your family’s biggest fans!
Hi Susan, Please know that Suzanne and I are missing you and Jose this year. We send mounds of love to you both, Rosie
Thanks for your daily gifts which enrich our lives!
Merry Christmas Dan! Thanks for all you do, best of luck to you and yours in the New Year!
Merry Everything to you, Dan, and all the good Westporters …from 3000
miles away on Whidbey Island.
Merry Christmas, Dan and thanks for being the glue to the 06880 community.
Merry Christmas Dan, as others have commented here your blog helps me relive wonderful Westport memories, from when I was an au pair there in the late sixties. The story you wrote about me (10/3 Hanne Jeppesen and Westport’s BIg Chill) has received very positive reviews from my family and friends. Thank you Dan, and all the best for 2017.
Not only old or seasonal memories, but recent memories: the re-opening of the Levitt Pavilion in 2014 when Jose Feliciano entertained us with ‘Feliz Navidad’ in the middle of July.
Dan and all 06880ers:
Sue and I send our wishes to everyone for a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy and safe new year.
And our special thanks to Dan for 06880.
The very best to you, Dan, in 2017. Thanks for keeping me in touch with Westport…down here in Ft Myers. I absolutely agree with Bonnie’s comments. You are irreplaceable!!
Thanks, Sue –we all miss you. Merry Christmas! Did you happen to see today’s photo challenge?!
Thanks for all you do, Dan – and wishing you a healthful and happy 2017 !!!
Dan, a Merry Christmas at ten to eleven PM (it’s not over quite yet). Happy Boxing Day tomorrow (before it turned into Kwanza). And it will be heaven to still be alive in two oh one seven. Cheers from a long time admirer!
Happy Holidays Dan! We depend on you DAILY to know what is going on around us, and of course love your sense of humor and unique outlook in presenting it to us!
