Since your editor put this story together a few months ago, our Dale has passed away. However, his memory will last as long as our museum does. I’ve chosen to leave the comments as they were, rather than make it a story of his death. You can read about his boyhood and his family in the story about White Pines, plus there are numerous stories that he told me throughout the web site. Editor
Editor: This is my friend, everybody’s friend, docent, director, equipment repairer, source of much of the information on this web site, teller of great true stories, Dale Brooks.

I first met Dale in the summer of 2005 as I was working on the History of Lake Mont Pines. I felt honored to sit with him and hear his stories. What a great man. Condolences to the family.
