Dan was the marketing director at Zircon for nine years, and they suddenly hired a new Vice President, Marketing, to whom Dan would now report.

Except that he chose to resign, depriving the company of his close rapport with radio, TV, and print PR professionals nationwide. He could put a StudFinder in Katie Couric's hands on your TV and persuade Popular Science magazine to feature a cover story about the latest Zircon technological breakthrough.

The graphics/softball gang took him to dinner on Wednesday at the Pope Room.

On Friday, Zircon had a farewell luncheon for Dan. Dan is a big fan of the Blues, so everybody got a pair of Blues Brothers sunglasses along with their tri-tip sandwich
