Daniel Ross Van Patten is the youngest of three children of Harold James and
Marion Jean (Easton) Van Patten, Jr. Daniel was the drummer in the rock band
Berlin in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Daniel produced and engineered their
biggest album Pleasure Victim which sold over a million copies. He was
working on his third novel (when I last heard from him) and is now living out of
the country. Along with Christy Adkins, Daniel has one son. "Drummer Dan" is
enjoying the good life.
Daniel Van Patten (small boy), meeting Senator Richard Nixon in
1958. The adults behind him are not his parents. He just walked
right up on his own because he wanted to see him. (With today's
tight security, I doubt that even a cute little boy could get past the
Secret Service agents - - man in dark sunglasses).
