In 1941 he graduated from Steubenville High School. Dan was proud to have served in the Army Air Corps/US Air Force for three years during World War II. Early in that service, he was assigned to Central State College (now the University of Central Oklahoma) for technical training. It was there that he met the love of his life, Carolyn Hey, who was then a student at the college. They carried on a courtship by letters, and after the war they married in 1946. With Carolyn’s support and help from the G.I. Bill, he fulfilled his youthful ambition to be an architect. Dan graduated from the School of Architecture at The Ohio State University with the great class of 1951. He co-founded Milosevich & Trautwein, Architects, and enjoyed a successful practice in that firm for 17 years. He continued as a sole- practitioner until his retirement in 2000. He was a member of the American Institute of Architects and served five years on the Board of Zoning Adjustments for the City of Columbus. He was a long-time member of Overbrook Presbyterian Church where for many years he was a tiny part of the beautiful music that emanated from its choir. Dan was also a member of the OSU Alumni Association and relished a 35-year membership at York Golf Club. He loved baseball, writing stories, playing the violin, reading and spending time with his wonderful family.
