Belatedly as it is --- I am a long-time (since childhood) friend of Danny Regan --- who was raised in Maywood, IL --- but came to Elmhurst, IL --- to finish-up his High School at IC in Elmhurst in the 1950's. He married Fran _________ --- for I cannot remember her maiden last name.

Anyway, Danny was a life-long friend of mine --- eventually spending much of his adult life fixing up and remodeling Elmhurst homes for many of Elmhurst residences --- each one becoming a satisfied customer.
Recently --- I have been trying to find the whereabouts of his wife, Fran Regan --- but alas --- I have been unable to do so.

My wife, Nancy Richardson Downey (Radcliffe College '56 --- is now 87 years old --- and I am 88 (Harvard College '56) --- soon to be 89 --- come February, 11, 2023.

Since 2013 we live in Myrtle Beach, SC --- just outside the Inter-coastal waterway --- in an area called 'Berkshire Forest' --- off of River Oaks Drive --- 4-miles from the ocean --- by way of how the crow flies.

We extend our sympathy to whomever remains as Danny Regan's family. ...Nancy and Bruce Downey
