Photos:

                   This photo of the house in Cools where Denny was born and raised was taken
                    in July 1996. At that time it was owned by John Sugrue, a nephew of Denny's.
                   The house was unoccupied and the attached barn and land were being used
                   to raise sheep. John sold the house and land immediately surrounding it. He
                   still owns some acres for his sheep.

                    Denny was always one to dress for the occasion, especially laundry day!
