I met David at Our Place, 1980, sitting out back at the picnic tables. The first thing you noticed about David was his good looks. The second was that grin. Oh, how we will miss that grin. In the yrs that followed that special meeting I have had the thrill of going on adventures with David, & our friends. One time it was so cold in the mountains that we couldn't even start a fire. David loved the mountains. We rode the wheels off that white van going to the hills to hike in sub-zero weather. David has gone to the hills where he has always been the happiest and he's listening to old old bluegrass talking to the animals. I will miss you DP.
