Cheryl, it was such a privilege to go to J;ville H.S. with Dave just the one year, but to be able to call him my friend for some 50+ years. I always enjoyed his emails which were frequent and we share the love of a beautiful dog named "Sophie." My Sophie is a Schnauzer and is dark charchol like your Sophie. Dave once sent me a picture of you with Sophie sittng among a bed of flowers. I still have it in the picture section of my computer. Know my thoughts and hope for a better New Year are with you and Nikki. I, too, lost someone I loved very dearly on December 20, 1981. This was my daughter, Joanna.I shall always think of you, Nikki and Dave on this very significant date.
