Jean Fogelberg still lives in she and Dan's home on Deer Isle, Maine. Jean sold Dan's Robinhood Cutter sailboat, "Minstrel", this spring 2008 to an unknown buyer.
Dan was cremated. On his birthday following his death, his ashes were scattered by his wife, Jean, on the Reach near their home on Deer Island, Maine.
Fogelberg lived on Deer Isle, a coastal island very near Bar Harbor, Maine. His song The Reach is about the body of water called Eggemoggin Reach which separates the island from the mainland. In his song The Minstrel he sang of sailing on this reach and mentioned nearby Jehrico Bay.
On Deer Isle there is a road on the north side called Reach Road. Dan & Jean lived part way down the road on Reach Haven Lane. The photo for the inside of the 03 album was taken toward the end of Reach Road looking right to an offshore Island. Quite easy to find.
