We used to deer hunt, fish, and drink some of the home made wine Dave and his Dad Ted used to make - some of it good some of it not so, but we never tossed any out. The days of cutting weeds and corn out of the bean fields and fixing tractors, clearing the land to build ponds - all work and lots of laughs. Thanks for the great memories Dave. You will truly be missed.
