Bertalan ?
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:23:00 PM »
What ever became of Dan Bertalan, he seems to have just disappered from the traditional archery community. Just curious.  Bob

If you do a search here on TG, there are a few topics about this.  Here is one of interest:

...and yes, I kind of liked his writing and his videos, but some folks move on to other interests...and maybe Dan is one of them.

Dan was a great story teller. Enjoyed his writings.

When I see that last name all I think of is Tara. I thought she was the hottest girl around when I was younger. Dan's alright too!

His book Traditional Bowyers of America 1989 was one of the Best. I remember rumors of a follow up that obviously never happened. To Bad as it was a very enjoyable read.

I too enjoyed Dan Bertalan's work. All I have to offer is some "old" news but I guess that it may be better than no news.

A friend of mine from Michigan was a friend of Dan's and worked on a few projects with /for him. Dan was working on commercial filming albeit a variety of subjects I believe.

He had cut back on his hunting.
