Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 22, 2009

And Dan was a heckuva man.

Dan, gentle big man of the Ponderosa! Too soon gone!

I have a long tongue.

Dan Blocker had an education degree from Sul Ross State College in Alpine,Texas. He was in school with my mother and played football there.

I recall him as an all-around nice guy…

Hey, farleft, nice Zappa reference. I always thought “Peaches en Regalia” was a quirky truck-stop girl all gussied up nice for her glam photo.

Dan was originally a second grade teacher

But do you know your left?

But do you know your left?

I knew a Dan Blocker back in high school. He was an Afro-American. But, that is a Hoss of another color.

I think you’re phloxxing a dead horseman.

Not Hoss , Haas. Mother was Scandanavian.
