- **Event Description**: Most folks in Bellingham know two things about “Dirty Dan” Harris:
(1) he was the founder of Fairhaven, and 
(2) he never took a shower or a bath.
 
Who was Dirty Dan? He might be called a real estate tycoon, a storyteller, an entrepreneur, a merchant, a developer, an explorer and adventurer, a sailor and whaler, and a smuggler, but also a misogynist and a hermit. Author Leon Greene will discuss his attempt to synthesize Dan’s many qualities in his forthcoming book, Dirty Dan Harris: Scandalous Father of Fairhaven.
