David Embrey Pickeral

Sincerest sympathies. I am thinking of the Pickerals and David's loved ones. Meredith

Very sorry to see this. David and I worked together at Booz Allen for many years. We were able to put aside our ingrained animosity as he was a "Saxon" and I was a "Highlander," rival high schools in McLean. We did not know each other as we lived parallel lives in McLean, both playing in high school band and then at George Mason University at the same time as we pursued post graduate degrees. His arrival on our team at Booz had almost immediate impact. He routinely humbled many with his knowledge, analytical capabilities, and collaboration skills. He was very astute. I learned a lot. His impact in the public safety community is immeasurable and I suspect that it was the same in the transportation community. When I left Booz 20 years ago, David gifted me a toy Metro bus, so appropriate. It has been on display in my home office since 2004. Thanks David.

Him doing Mr Bill and always laughing. Being in band together and him always being first chair
