Dan McKain dead at 76
Frequent contributor to The Teche News
South Padre Island, Texas — Dan McKain, a regular contributor to The Teche News, died here Saturday, May 17, doing what he loved to do.
McKain, 76, and his wife, Gini, also an accomplished photographer, were shooting construction of the 31-story Ocean Towers condominiums when he apparently suffered a heart attack.
A civil engineer by profession, McKain got hooked on photography covering a fire in Cincinnati for the Associated Press some 50 years ago. He and Gini worked as freelance photographers and writers covering heavy construction projects, travel, boating, and the activities of the National Sheriff’s Association.
They traveled widely, and when in Acadiana, contributed numerous photos and articles to The Teche News.
Dan McKain was born on Sept. 15, 1931, in Milford, Del. He was a U.S. Army veteran.
In accordance with his wishes, his ashes will be spread over Lake Martin.
