Dan worked for Blue Cross of Idaho for 27 years and became president before retiring in 1989. After his retirement, Dan and his wife of 35 years, Sidney Duncan, set sail for a 7 year adventure that began in California and ended in Florida. They returned home to Idaho and settled in Crouch where they built their dream home. They would live there until Sidney became ill.
