Dan Monez was born just over the Napa County line in Gordon Valley. Dan’s family were third generation Solano County farmers and he grew up working in the orchards and selling fruit in his family’s many fruit stands. Going to elementary school in a small agricultural community allowed Dan to enjoy “multi-culturalism” long before the term became popular. In literally a two-room schoolhouse for his first 4 grades, Dan learned his ABC’s alongside first and second-generation immigrant kids from Mexico, the Philippines, China, Japan, and Armenia.
