Poetic Obituaries: "Because of his wide range of interests,

he taught a variety of courses and was counted as an authority on love poetry, the Central European novel and, above all, writing," Dr. [Walt] Fuchs said [of Dan L. Jones].

In the late 1980s, Dr. Jones, who was called "the writing guru of Towson University," was founder and coordinator of the school's master's degree program in professional writing.

"We want to help equip our graduates to work in the community, not just in a technical way, but also in a way that they can direct the needs of public writing," he told The Baltimore Sun in a 1988 interview. "The writing out there is terrible. Written communication today is putting blocks between people who are trying to communicate."
