註釋Daniel Calmes Arnold is a matter-of-fact man with a can-do-it attitude that has benefited his family, his friends and, most of all, his community. A native Houstonian, he grew up in the city's tree-lined streets and attended its schools. When he returned to practice law, he married the love of his life, Beverly, and started his family. Soon, the community came knocking and he began a lifelong career as a problem solver. When he was asked to serve on the board of the city-county hospital, he caught a "hot potato." Four times, local leaders tried to pass an election giving the facility its own taxing authority. Dan came up with a plan that sought to bring together all sides of the issue. The fifth vote passed, and the funding for the care of the city's working poor was found. When Metro needed a leader to take the city's transit into the next century, the Mayor called on Dan. He found a new transit chief and upgraded the city's bus system while laying groundwork for rail. His service on the board of Baylor College of Medicine spanned its separation from Baylor University and saw the College reach new heights in clinical care and groundbreaking research. Through it all, he made friends - from high school classmates who remain close today to leaders in the community and the nation. He makes a point of remembering their birthdays and anniversaries as well being available to them in times of celebration and times of need. Dan Arnold's proudest achievements are his marriage, his family and the city of Houston, which he helped grow and prosper as a community that serves people from all walks of life.
