Bubby, Everytime I see Dan I have to take his points out and look at them. I watched him break a big Clovis on the last flake pass when my Buddy Rick's girlfriend offered him a Muffin :'(.

Will, he had at least 8 tables of cased points and a basket of points for $10 an inch. And they are all paper thin.

Dan's a real nice fellow,my favorite point he has is were he took a flute from a Clovis and knapped another point and has it lying in the flute Chanel.

I've never been to a knap-in that Dan Theus has attended, but every time I see pic's of his frames I am just floored.

Steve;
Dan'sbeen coming down here for severa years and like Roger said, a super, nice guy. He doesn't mind at all if you take his points out of the cases and look them over.

Dan is a real nice guy. I try to sit by him at Greasy Creek and study the way he set's up his isolated platforms. After he gets to biface stage he uses them for just about every flake, Mike Smyth
