I learned tonight that we lost Dean in January.

Dean was a long time Newell owner, and had attended a few of the Non Rally Rallies. 

I first met him at Tyler State Park  in 2007 quite by accident. His Newell was there attending a Dutch oven cooking get together. 

Many of us will remember his biscuits and gravy cooked in Dutch ovens, which he served in Ruidoso. 

I have fond memories of Dean. I learned very quickly that he didn't talk a lot, but when he did, it was best to listen. He knew his stuff on the coach workings.
