I had the pleasure of meeting Dan in 1991 and hearing about their story at wrestling camp my senior high school. Was also a big fan, and did a college paper about what they have accomplished that far. I kept the Oregonian newspaper article of Dan's Sr. yr at Portland State my scrapbook and actually had Dan sign 2012 when he was coaching in our league. These two men are amazing people on and off the mat.
Thank you Joe and Dan for sharing your inspirational story. My son participated in one of Joe's GMU Patriot Wrestling Camps a couple years ago, and we've read Dan's book "Finish Strong: The Dan Russell Story," You are both very much appreciated.
I grew up in Oregon wrestling against member's of the Oregon USA wrestling team, I wrestled Dan in the Freestyle state tournament in 1984. I loved watching you guys compete back in the day and it never ceases to amaze me the different way this sport impacts so many peoples life's. Great story and Great work Joe!!!!!!
I wrestled in the Oregon State Championships 1985-87 when they were there. Not just phenomenal talents, but always carried themselves with exemplary character and sportsmanship. Beautiful story guys. Represented Gresham HS well 👍

He was a counselor at the 28 day J-Rob camp I went to in 2000 in Minnesota. He is an awesome coach.
Awesome story! Thanks.
Amen and thank you Jesus for this amazing story!
