Always thought Dave would be a GM of a baseball team. He was a master of sports statistics. He could quote when, where on what date Mickey Mantle hit his 50th home run and probably what he had for breakfast. One of the smartest guys I've met.

So sorry to read of David's death. He and I were close in Barrytown, cobbled together by our last names' in the alphabet: laundry bins adjacent, seats in the common room together, and I followed him in the Director's announcement of grades on report cards. Talk about a tough act to follow. We had many good laughs and times together. My wishes for healing to Kathleen and the family. Vic Pantesco, Barrytown class of 1965.
