Great Regulars: Dan Hardin has found a special way to say

'thank you' to people who have positive influence on his life. He writes them a poem.

"So many times we work with or around people and are not able to tell them how they have impacted our lives in one way or another," Hardin says. "There have been numerous instances over the years where I have written a brief tribute poem to my ministers, doctor, veterinarian, co-workers to try to let them know how special they really are."
