ALASKA EMAIL
I watched a program on the Discovery Channel about salvage work in the Bering Sea in which Dan Magone and his crew tried to get the American Star off of a beach where it had run aground. You got to know the crew members and there was one really nice man who I liked in particular. Well, in the epilogue, the announcer said he had died of a heart attack in a later salvage attempt and was, in fact, Dan's brother.It shocked me and I found myself thinking of it later so I got on the Internet and looked up Magone and found a site where I sent a condolence note. Only, it was Dave Magone, not Dan, to whom I sent the message.
I received this in my email a couple of days ago:
hello , you,ve reached dave magone the other brother. will forward this on
to dan. thanks for the letter and thoughts - dave magone-

Hi, I tried to send this message on your site, but it said it
contained a banned word - I have looked through it repeatedly and
cannot figure out what it could be. If I am not seeing anything that
is rude, it is a typo and I apologize.
Original message:
I had the TV on the Discovery Channel yesterday when the program
about the American Star came on. After a couple of minutes, I found
it interesting enough to sit down and actually concentrate on
watching. Throughout the program I was impressed with the really good-
natured, bearded gentleman and was then shocked to hear in the
epilogue that he had suffered a heart attack and passed away while
working on a later job.
I am very sorry for your family's loss. I know some time has passed
since this happened and I do hope I am not causing you to revisit
your grief. Still, I wanted you to know that in a one hour show, I
came to like and admire him and I will remember.
