My sympathy to the family of David Field, a fellow resident at Lake Forest Place, whom I saw almost every morning at 6 a.m. at the fitness center here. His was a quiet, reassuring presence. One I have already started missing. We are a handful of 'regulars' and his presence completed our morning circle, even on days when it did not look easy for him to be there - he was.
