Of the many who cross one´s path in life, a few stand out. David Rhodes was one. Full of wonder, warmth and wisdom even as a 1964 Scattergood roommate.

I remember David fondly from high school at Scattergood. His intellect and kindness was an inspiration to me as a year younger student. I've written a poem inspired by what I know of his life and will happy to share it.
