Work, thinking ahead, and not wasting time was stressed in Dan's family. He always had 1-3 jobs or projects going at one time since his paper routes AM&PM /school days. He had been to Disneyland three times with the Oregonian, bought out the Sea and Ski Store by Lloyd Center when it closed and owned his first car ("The Bomb") by the age of 15. His ideas and ventures never stopped. That's how Class Harbor, Macadam Bay Club, Columbia View Estates, Columbia Crest Estates and The View evolved.
