Dear Danne,

For more than 50 years I've had a photo on my wall of Big Dave sliding into third base. Now he is safe at home. He was a wonderful friend and a great Wild Cat. George Fergusson

I was shocked and sad when I heard of Dave's passing. I could only revert back to our PBHS days of the Civitan Club,Ms.Lantz's English Class and our dances when you were the Best Looking Couple there ! I know he will be missed by all who knew him over the years and I can carry fond memories .
