created a sighting purely
out of thin air.
Dahl himself seemed to live a double life with his
connections to CIA operative Fred Crisman.
Harold Albert Dahl also known as “Trader” was born on August
15, 1911 in Cosmopolis, WA, a town in Greys Harbor County. He
originally spelled his last name, as “Doll” His parents were Theodore
and Emma Doll. In the 1930’s he was living in Grey’s Harbor with his
first wife Ruby and son Charles. He had married Ruby Toler in 1927 at
the age of 16. According to the 1940 census in 1935, he was living in
Tacoma with wife Meda. He was reported to be a car dealer.
Harold married Helen Larson in 1943. He then changed his name to
Dahl. In 1945-1947, he was living at 3903 Gove with his wife Helen.
His son Charles who allegedly was injured by falling slag was born
January 15, 1929 and died April 10 th , 1996.
According to records,
Charles maintained the spelling of “Doll.”
In 1947 Dahl operated the Commercial Lumber Company at 235
Millwater Avenue, Tacoma (FBI Report 8/19/47)
It was found that from 1945 until 1947 Harold A. Dahl had lived in the
same duplex. He worked at the Seattle-Tacoma Ship yard throughout
the war, until the end of the war shutdown the yard.
Arnold says that Dahl referred to Fred Crisman as his "superior
officer,” in fact the "Tacoma Harbor Patrol" -- according to an FBI
investigative report dated August 19, 1947 -- was the name of a
privately owned for-profit business enterprise seeking to charge owners
of vacation homes on the island for keeping an eye out on their
properties during the owner's absence.
“Owners were given the legal
right
to
pursue logs
onto
private
property.
But chasing lost logs took time, and owners found it
unprofitable to maintain search boats. So, in 1928, a group of them
banded together to finance the Washington Log Patrol.
Part of its
assignment
was to
keep
poachers from
precipitating spills by
sabotaging the boom-log pens that kept loose logs confined while
under tow. But the patrol also retrieved floating and beached strays.
Private citizens could round up strays on their own and return them to
the owners.
Soon a dozen or more free-lance patrol boats were
roaming Puget Sound in search of runaway fir, hemlock, and cedar.
The going price for returned branded logs averaged $17.50 a thousand
board feet – John Covington,

Harold Dahl lived in Tacoma, Aberdeen, and Tenino. He was a selfemployed surplus dealer and a
member of
the Gun
Collectors
Association.
Dahl moved twenty miles south to Tenino, Washington, where he
started a used furniture/second hand store and lived peacefully until
his death in 1982.
An article in a Centralia paper showed an interesting aspect of Dahl’s
later life in 1975 near Tenino as a used car and junk dealer. The article
states “now he has a collection of ‘you name it we have it’ that fills his
shop, his junkyard, his Cadillacs, and even his house.
‘It took us 16 years to accumulate all this junk’ Dahl says proudly, his
hand sweeping across the acreage he owns along Washington 507 in
Thurston County. Dahl deals in just about anything, but he can’t resist
Cadillacs. ‘I was a travelling repairman for Cadillac’ he explains. He
specialized in hearses and ambulances. “The other vehicles serve as
fine homes for his collection of pets-chickens ,ducks, dogs, and one
lovable wild goose named “Silver.”.. ’ We’re constructing a new
building out back, said Dahl ‘We’re going to use it as a showroom.
We’ll line up our Cadillacs and display some of our antiques.’ The new
building, of course will be made of scrap material-discarded telephone
poles, sheets of metal from a steam power plant and lumber from the
Tenino Dreamland Dance Hall
, which Dahl razed.
When the main building began to sag, Mrs. Dahl even though she
describes herself as ‘more of a businesswoman than a housekeeper,’
became restive when her husband ‘set up shop in
out of thin air.
