Very sad news, Jim. Condolences to his family.

Dale was featured on ABC News in a February 13, 2001 report when FReepers launched a successful boycott of companies hiring Bill Clinton for speeches.

The video is not with the article, but here is an excerpt:

The investigations still dogging former President Clinton more than three weeks after the end of his term are beginning to make a dent in his earnings.

A few days after another financial giant acknowledged it made a "mistake" by paying Clinton about $125,000 to speak last week, the UBS-Warburg financial services company announced it has scrapped negotiations to have the former president address a conference in April.

The spokesman also acknowledged the decision to take a pass on Clinton came after Morgan Stanley Dean Witter faced criticism from clients for hosting Clinton last week. After Clinton spoke to a Morgan Stanley conference in Florida last week, some Clinton critics cut their ties to the firm.Investor Dale Reed, for example, told ABCNEWS he transferred a $35,000 account to another company.

"If they pay this man huge sums to speak in front of them," Reed said, "there's going to be a backlash against their products and companies."

In an e-mail to investors apologizing for the Clinton appearance, Morgan Stanley CEO Philip J. Purcell said the Clinton invite was a mistake.

Thanks for that impressive anecdote.

Dale was obviously a man of principle and integrity who walked the walk.

May the Lord grant his family and friends' heart comfort and strength.
