Daniel Jackson Evans was a US politician who attended the 1986 and 1988 Bilderberg meetings when appointed Senator in Henry M. Jackson's former seat.

Background

Evans was born in Seattle, descended from a family that had first arrived in the Washington Territory in 1859; his maternal grandfather had been a member in one of the first state senates in Washington. He grew up in the Laurelhurst neighborhood, and attended Roosevelt High School.

Evans was an Eagle Scout and was a staff member and Hike Master at Camp Parsons as part of the Chief Seattle Council, a well known Boy Scout camp in Washington. As an adult, he was awarded the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award from the Boy Scouts of America in 1973.

Education

After high school, Evans was in the United States Navy from 1943 to 1946. He first entered the V-12 Navy College Training Program and was stationed at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, but was transferred eight months later to a Reserve Officers' Training Corps program at the University of California, Berkeley. He did not see combat; he was deployed to the Pacific Ocean shortly after the end of World War II, as a commissioned ensign on a succession of aircraft carriers, before returning to UW in 1946.

Evans graduated from the University of Washington with degrees in civil engineering (Bachelor of Science degree in 1948 and a Master of Science degree in 1949). He returned to the United States Navy, where he served from 1951 to 1953 before working as a structural engineer from 1953 to 1956.
