"Trapper" Dan Santoro first visited Fort Lauderdale Beach for Spring Break 1979 and returned each of the following two years. He permanently moved to "Fort Liquordale" in 1986 and quickly immersed himself in the hospitality scene there, working and making friends with dozens of like-minded individuals and vacationers while soaking up the sun and the history of the city. After the 2003 death of the Godfather of Spring Break, "Crazy Gregg" Newell, Dan was dared by his friends to write the ultimate history of one of America's hottest destinations, and Where the Boys (and Girls) Were! met that challenge head on.
