I left Euclid Inc, White Motor Corp, April, 1977, Joined Clark Equipment , Benton Harbor, MI. Dave left International Harvester and joined us in December, 1977, I believe. We merged into VME and were transferred to Cleveland, 1987, then to Volvo Construction Equipment, and transferred to Asheville, NC, in 1993. Dave was a talented worker, good friend, and a survivor who will be sorely missed.
