An interesting note is that our other new Posse member, Terry Milner works with Dan in his business and was recruited by Dan who enticed Terry and his wife to visit and purchase a home in Westbrook some time ago.
Dan enjoys his time here in Westbrook Village playing golf with the Niners, gym, biking, and indicated that his wife plays a mean hand of bridge.
Thank you Dan for all you do for Westbrook Village and the Posse.
