Thank you for the notice, Eden.  I'm sure all the Medlocks extend their thoughts and prayers to Evanlee, Dan, Sarah and Emily.  We'll watch for the obit next Sunday.

Archibald Daniel Johnson Matthews, born February 14, 1930, was the first child of Antoinette Mary Medlock Johnson Matthews, known affectionately as "Auntie" and "Maidee."  Antoinette was the 3rd and youngest child of William Parks Medlock and Vilenah Antoinette Mason Medlock.

Dan came to the Medlock reunions several times recently, but was too ill to make it this year.  We were glad, however, to see his wife, Evanlee, and cousin Jean Johnson Givens at the 2010 reunion and we wish Evanlee a speedy recovery.

Hi Wade,
Dan died Monday. His obit will be in Sunday's paper. His wife, Evanlee, is in DeKalb Medical Center with collapsed lung. I'm busy with kids and scrounging around trying to make money, so if you could let the kinfolks on our side know, that would be great. Daughter Sarah asked me to pass along when she called yesterday. Dan had 3 kids: Dan who lives in metro Athens, GA, daughter Sarah who lives on a boat and, I believe, Emily, who lives somewhere in the northeast.
Hope you are well and that we get together soon.
Eden

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
