This is what it is. Dan Wheeler ( "Wheels") was a student of Divinity, and I don't know if he ever had a church or not, but he did graduate with a degree. I believe he has not ever had a church, but does hold the title.
Dan Hughes, the Morning show Dan, who has the farm, IS a real minister, and holds a church service every Sunday, has a congregation, and yes, he did marry Sandra Bennett and her husband and has married other QVC personnel.
But last year ( or was it the year before?) he had a very massive heart attack from which he was not supposed to have recovered, but by the grace of God he did.
You know he is deeply involved in the NASCAR business also. I'm thinking perhaps his doctor, wife, or himself perhaps, may have asked him to slow it down for a period since it hasn't been that long since he nearly passed. So he is taking a leave of absence for a while, but IS coming back afterwards.
Now it's just my opinion that this is why he is leaving, if it's for another reason he hasn't yet said so. He did say that he, by nature, is a very private person and doesn't like talking about his personal life to others. I can respect that. So don't be expecting him to explain much on QVC. And I hope caller's don't bluntly just ask him about anything. Some people don't think they just open their mouth's and speak.
