"Daniel was absolutely wonderful to everyone…he took pictures with the guests, he was serious and yet humorous, approachable and kind. One of Daniel’s beloved attributes is that no matter how many accolades he has received for his writing and research, he is still so humble. It was heartwarming to see people who wanted to tell him THEIR story…how his books had affected them, or a relative, or someone they knew. He listened to each person with interest and chatted with everyone."
