Dan James never grew up in a small midwest rural town! Upon graduating near the bottom of his high school class, Dan packed four years of college into fi ve and a half years of partying, finally receiving a BA in Political Science. He says, "Hey, it was easier than History. Does anyone really know what Political Science is?" Surprisingly, as a young man with a college degree, Dan had trouble finding employment on those rare occasions that he actually looked. At the tender age of 24 Dan enrolled in the highly acclaimed, academically challenging School Of Bartending. Graduating near the top of this three week, rigorously demanding, training class, Dan launched his career as a Barman. Later (after much encouragement from parents), Dan took the Postal Clerk/Carrier exam and scored a 100 per cent. At last, Dan had found his niche, he could read addresses and successfully sort mail. Thirty- two wasted years later, Dan retired from the USPS, and embarked on a new career as an airline flight attendant. Seven years, and a world of travel later, Dan and his wife left the midwest for warm Arizona where Dan was recruited and trained as a Retirement Community Security Officer. After a few years of securing the seniors, guarding the grandpas, and escorting the elderly, Dan turned in his badge, mounted his Toyota and rode off to the sunny shores and Gulf breezes of Florida.
