Stanley Dashew

[2][3] He has created mechanical systems in the business data, banking, shipping, mining, transportation, marine recreation, water purification, and medical-health industries.

These included the Databosser and Datawriter under Dashew Business Machines, the single point mooring buoy in Imodco (SBM Offshore), the Dashaveyor mining cars and people transport, a ship bow thruster under the Omnithruster Company, liquid aeration and oxygenation treatments through Omniphaser, wastewater purification system for Biomixer, Inc., and personal spinal decompression mobility devices under the title Dashaway on YouTube—the latter developed and marketed under his oversight, while in his nineties, from 2005 to 2010.

Dashew's mother and father emigrated from Russia and Lithuania, respectively, during the pogroms and poverty caused by the Cossack uprising that eventually led to the Bolshevik or Red Revolution.

However, he eventually became disenchanted with the law and thrust himself into pursuit of a writing career by moving to New York City, where he lived for a short time with his grandmother and paternal aunts.

They sailed from the Great Lakes, up the St. Lawrence Seaway, down the East Coast, through the Caribbean and West Indies, though the Panama Canal, and up the Mexican Pacific to finally arrive and settle in Los Angeles, California.

[6] Their voyage was notable—making headlines across the Americas—because of its duration, the tall-ship's masts and sails, their visit to a Haitian voodoo ceremony, and the fact that crew included their seven-year-old son, Skip (Stephen), and their three-month-old baby daughter, Leslie.

To pitch his company's unique position to American Express to emboss more variable data faster than his competitors, he printed the name of each board executive on each man's sample card, along with a date and the catchphrase he created, "Member Since…” Dashew then took the helm of a fledgling Swedish enterprise and facilitated the worldwide introduction of single-point mooring systems for offshore oil production developed through the IMODCO Company.

During the 1970s, Dashew with the support of his second wife, Rita,[13] initiated and conceived the plan to build the UCLA International Student Center that bears their name.
