After a seventeen year career as a motel and restaurant general manager, RON DAHLY changed his professional and personal life's focus -from that of making a profit for companies, to trying to make a difference in the lives of people facing difficult challenges. Mr. Dahly worked for organizations serving people born with developmental disabilities, disabled veterans, our homeless, and our Deaf populations, in various capacities. Recently widowed, and retired, Mr. Dahly lives reclusively with the couple's four dogs, in Akron, Ohio.
