Dan H. Brunotte

This is typical photo of Dan. Cooper’s were his favorite from the start. His falconry began
along with mine and several others when Walt Disney presented us with “Rusty and the
Falcon. Dan was 9 at the time, and we caught our first bird, a passage Cooper’s with an
injured wing, shortly after. That bird got released after it healed, but it was the start of a life
long love of falconry!
The picture is what he still looked like at 70 years old with the dark hair and beard and a
cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He was an off and on again NAFA Member whenever he
could afford it or I gifted it to him. He always said he should have been a charter member, but,
being just a teenager at the time, he didnt get an invite up to Webster’s for the meeting.
