Dana Lee Frey, The Champ



Dana Lee Frey, Father and Ping Pong Champ

Dana celebrated his 33rd birthday on August 25, 2005. In the new language of the internet, he is my SIL. I think. I have not taken a class in that language, or checked out a dictionary, but I am assuming that such an acronym means son-in-law. He is husband to Erica and Dad to Morghan, Jack and Maddie Mae.

He is a man's man. He is competitive. He is athletic and generous and a big tease. He wins consistently in competitions and beats me in Pitch although “the women” can usually win at “Up and Down the River”. I think he has been thrown out of Scrabble competitions for creative spelling. Rules must always be spelled out ahead of time, when playing with Dana, and carved in stone - paper isn’t good enough! Someday, when we cannot stand to lose another game to him, girls, we shall stage a Pictionary contest and then we will see who the “Big L” is!

Dana, happy birthday! Work hard and play hard. Know when to hold ‘em. May you always be enthusiastic, have coconut cream pie and lose ONCE in a while!

My sources tell me that a softball did this damage. Well, maybe a baseball. Whatever, we'd better put two gloves on him! One was not enough.
