He and Martha used to travel back to Gloucester in this contraption.

        Dan loved speed, whether automobiles, motorcycles or boats. This trait passed down to his son Dan Jr.

        Uncle Dan had a long clay pipe that he loved to smoke. He could just barely reach the bowl to light it.

        On a trip to Florida in his later years, he landed a big sailfish which he had mounted and displayed on his living room wall.
