Dan Field was an impressive classmate in senior Economics/Sociology at DHS. His probing questions challenged the teachers; but given that he later attained the office of Lake County Special Assistant State's Attorney, in retrospect it all made sense. Our paths later crossed as postgraduates (he was in law school) at the U of I downstate when we briefly resided in the same off-campus apartment building. Then, as further coincidence would have it, 25 to 30 years later I got to know him again: as his two honor-student daughters' French teacher at Lake Forest HS. His sudden passing in early 2014 left a terrible void for his adoring family, his friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed at this reunion.
