David Malcolm Jordan

Diana: I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Your mother, Barbara, introduced us when I was a teacher at Abington Friends School in 1985 and she was on the Meeting's school committee. David and I hit it off immediately.

David became a mentor to me as a young writer. He encouraged me to write both American history and baseball and often reviewed my manuscripts always offering helpful advice.

When David became president of the Philadelphia A's Historical Society, I jumped on board. When we did an exhibit on the A's at the Chester County Historical Society in 1999, he, along with Ernie Montella and Bob Warrington, gave their full support. They loaned items from the historical society's collection, offered great advice for programming and promoted the exhibit in the print and TV media.

Over the last few years, we would occasionally catch up with each other at the Philly Card Show. He never lost his passion for the game and I am so grateful that he shared it with me.

As a former partner of Dave, I can attest to his excellent legal skills.
Dave was one of the brightest persons (just look at the prolific book inventory) and at the same time the politest person I knew.
My condolences to his family.
