Dan Gribbin retired from college teaching after 37 years to enjoy the outdoors in Florida and to play folk music, much of it at the Eustis Street Grill. He spent the bulk of his teaching career as Prof. of English at Ferrum College in Virginia, but he has also taught African-American Literature and American Literature at the University of Central Florida. He and his wife Martha live in Daytona Beach Shores and are members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ormond Beach, where he serves as Co-chair of the Worship Committee.
