Heading: The pre-separation relationship

Text: Danny and Gail Glasen met in Hawaii in 1984, while Danny was opening a restaurant with business partners there. At that time, Danny was married but estranged from his first wife, and Danny and Gail began living together shortly after they met. During their time in Hawaii, Gail worked with Danny on his restaurant for about six or seven months. After that, Danny sold his interest in the restaurant and the two moved to Cordova. Danny obtained a divorce from his former wife shortly thereafter. From the beginning, Danny and Gail have had an erratic and tumultuous relationship, marked by periods of separation and reconciliation. After moving to Cordova in the summer of 1985, Gail left Danny for a short period before moving back in with him. Gail and Danny had their first child, Drake William Glasen, in September 1986. After nine months, Gail again left Danny because his party lifestyle bothered her. She moved to Morro Bay, California for about a month and a half with the baby. The couple reconciled, however, and got married in August 1987 in Reno. Gail returned to Cordova with Danny and stayed there until their daughter Meriah Victoria was born in June 1988. The Glasens bought a luxury home in Malibu, California, for $550,000 in 1988. Gail lived there with the children until August 1993, while Danny remained in Cordova and intermittently visited the Malibu home.
