My condolences. I was a classmate of David's at Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, and we traveled to France and England together as part of our high school French class. I always found him very bright, quick-witted, and empathetic. Never saw him again after graduation but I always knew he would have no trouble forging his own path. Ave atque vale!
