In October of 1981, Dan and Dora moved off their beloved farm to a new life in Halkirk. There he enjoyed the chit-chat with good friends at the coffee shop. Dan and Dora together enjoyed many good years in halkirk His family get togethers meant the world to Dan. Family times usually meant family music.
