Dan lived in Bowling Green until he was six then moved around a lot with his family. His Dad was an aeronautical engineer. His Dad was working at Lockheed in Marietta, GA when Dan graduated from South Cobb High School in 1957. He came to Western a year then joined the Air Force in 1959. Dan stayed in the Air Force 29 years and moved 22 times during that span. He married his wife Sylvia in 1960 and they have two daughters. Each of their daughters have two daughters so they have been nothing if not consistent. Dan loves those girls.
Dan is a decorated flier from the Vietnam War whose MIG shoot down was featured recently on national TV. In addition to starting air museums Dan enjoys flying, gardening, reading and do-it-yourself projects. He joined our club in 1989 when he retired. When you start doing the math Dan has lived here longer than he has lived anywhere. He must like it. How lucky we are to have Dan back in Bowling Green and in our club.
