After honorable discharge from the Army Dallas attended the University of Colorado.  He graduated in 1959 with a degree in Business Management.  Dallas starred in C.U.'s annual musical production in his senior year and continued to provide excellent vocal performances for 50 years. Foremost among his leading roles were Billy Bigelow in “Carousel”; Tommy Albright in “Brigadoon”; and Daddy Warbucks in “Annie”.  The majority of his working life was spent in management roles with the New York Life Insurance Company.
