Dan Terry – A favorite Kabul memory
I knew Dan Terry only briefly, but long enough to be in awe of his deep love and knowledge of Afghanistan and its people.
One of my favorite Kabul memories is of an impromptu picnic with Dan and his wife at Lake Qarga on Easter afternoon, relishing fresh naan and old stories of Russian times. No one had a collection of stories, or a sense of perspective, quite like him–I remember one of his retellings of his Taliban prison experience which he concluded by saying, “If God gives you the opportunity to be thrown in a Taliban prison, you should thank him for it.”
Thank you, Dan, for your legacy of faithfulness.
