and the mystery continues...my parents were friends with dale and his family for years, my parents, and everyone never knew what happened exactly..i was part of the search team at the time looking for clues,& (dale), and we searched the area around the plant to no avail..weve watched the segments on what happened, have had many discussions..my opinion is foul play..maybe we will never know exactly what happened..one thing i will remember is dale playing the guitar around the fire and and at my parents parties.always happy he was...one day maybe this will be solved..if you would like to contact me, my parents etc.please email me @jmcsworld@yahoo.com take care.
