Dan appeared in early television as the "Sealtest Strongman" his stage costume was much as appears in the photo above. He performed a number of overhead lifts and balancing movements
which preceded his overhead loft of what appeared to be cannonballs which he caught behind his head
in the most amazing fashion. His act and appearance were eye catchers for an impressionable young kid. Rest in peace Dan.
