I know that Dan, like Dorothy, would cringe at the use of the word "saint" but isn't it great to have actually seen, heard, met and been changed by a real honest-to-God SAINT.  I had the privilege of introducing Dan as guest preacher at a liturgy at Notre Dame years ago.  
I included a reference to "anti-war activist" in my intro.  After Mass he gently (but firmly!) corrected me.  Ever since I've been careful to regard Dan instead as a "peace advocate".  As he famously eulogized Dorothy, it was equally true of himself that he "comforted the afflicted and afflicted the comfortable".  May we all continue to be afflicted!
