Dan Feltham

May 9, 1934 - February 2025

Dan was very popular at SPSM. He was senior class president and played football. Dan attended Stanford and worked for IBM and traveled the world. He was also an author and self-published many good novels. 

I had not seen him for 70 years as we went our separate ways. During 2024 and 2025 we spoke every week by phone. The summer of 2024 we met for lunch in Oceanside. At the time of his passing, he was living in Fallbrook, California.
