Dan Felts was one of my very favorite teachers in Brinkley High School. I graduated in 1962 and we recently had a 50 years reunion and was so in hopes he would get to attend but he was unable to do so. He made a very lasting good impression on many of us and we are saddened at his passing. I will be praying for his family.
