Meet Dan Fournier, of Worcester, PA. Dan is 15, and has only been a DeMolay for 4 months. Dan is a Sophomore at Methacton High School, and when he's not at DeMolay, he enjoys talking on the phone, going to the mall, and surfing the net. Dan's a fan of Lego's (but who isn't?).

Dan joined DeMolay because one of his friends told him about it, and he says he wanted to "find out for myself." Ever the cooperative young man, he offers that he also joined "to better myself" since "that's what you want to hear" --gee, thanks Dan! Meanwhile, he enjoys DeMolay sports competitions and hanging out with his own Chapter and others.

Dan hopes to study social science, and to find a girlfriend (Sorry, ladies, we can't give you his email here!)

He's a wily one, and tough to get a serious picture of... we snagged the shots above at PA DeMolay's recent B-Ball Tourney, and even though he was on crutches (took one for the team in their first game), he managed to elude us for any good candids. He liked the dark picture, because it makes him look all mysterious and brooding, befitting a poet, which, by the way, he is. It didn't take too much arm twisting to get him to lend us a poem. This poem has actually been published (quite a little accomplishment by age 15!), and we reprint it here with Dan's permission:
