What I forgot to mention was that Dan's wife Jean Potter is the author of an excellent book titled: "By the Grace of God" in which describes the day America was attacked.

Both Dan and Jean thought each other had been killed on that horrible day of September 11, 2001.
Jean was working for the Bank of America in one of the World Trade Center Towers on the 82nd or 83rd floor while Dan was working as a Firefighter with the FDNY as well. I think Ladder 5

Jean had made it out and to the quarters of Engine 33/Ladder 9 if I remember correctly
Later Dan learned where his wife was, and they had survived and were reunited at that firehouse.

It is an EXCELLENT BOOK if you haven't read it and is still available

Of course, Dan is the author of the great book too "They Saved New York" along with Glenn Usdin.
That book is also still available as well.
 
Happy Birthday Declan, aka "IRISH".
Declan has a strong interest in both the Dublin Fire Department and the FDNY

"Dec"., thank you for your contributions to everyone and to those fire departments as well.

Dan, "JohnnyGage" the picture is perfect for Dec's birthday.
I wonder how many of us here know who those two famous guys are - but "I DO".

Happy Birthday Dec...Here's to another year of making memories. Cheers!
