Personal Life
As a young man, Dan enjoyed camping, fishing and adventure. In high school he was a foreign exchange student to Barbados, after graduating college he backpacked across Europe and in his mid twenties he took a few months to lead safaris in Kenya. Rutherford learned to sail boats and crewed for numerous Chicago to Mackinac Island Races, competed in regattas off of Melbourne and cruised the southern coast of Australia. Before his 30th birthday, Dan joined a small group of adventurers and the 12 of them took three months crossing Africa in their diesel Bedford truck; camping, bathing in creeks, open fire meals, and using sand mats to cross the Sahara. He started in Algeria and went south through Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Zaire and Burundi.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to her mother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It’s not the men in my life, but the life in my men.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
