David Gerber

I will always remember the devotion of Maxine when David was no longer the David we once knew. She was a true example of devotion. I am glad I had the opportunity to know them both at The Forum.

Dave volunteered with ACDI/VOCA starting in 1995 and he went on to complete 18 assignments with us around the world. I'm including a list of his volunteer work with ACDI/VOCA in the...
