A 72-year-old Townsend man died in a Friday evening crash on Highway 12. The man died after losing control of his vehicle while trying to avoid another vehicle that had slowed to pull off Highway 12 between Avon and Garrison, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.

Back in the spring, I posted about the passing of Dan Seals, and it was the beginning of a nice correspondence with Bernie from over at Garrison, Montana, who had some memories of Dan that he shared with me, and I'd like to pass a few of his comments on to you.
