I have some of my greatest memories of scouting with you. Over 50 years ago he was my presenter for my Eagle ceremony. 50 years ago. I vividly remember him horse trading for a can of peaches and Bisquick, halfway into my 1st trek at Philmont. I don’t remember how we got the Dutch oven. And of course, he brought his own cinnamon. Him and I cooking that cobbler together. Well, I think I was in charge of the fire. Seriously, I had never had peach cobbler in my life, wow… simply amazing. We honestly started ended the Philmont Scout prayer…. with “and Mr.Dalton.” Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones.
Thank you my good man and Godspeed.
