I am so sorry to hear of David's passing.
David and I spoke many times over the years by telephone. He and I shared the same name but my middle name is Randall not Ronald and I live in England.
I am or was an Illustrator, paint and I also have the interests that he enjoyed. He is a talent vorbei!
Polly I am so sorry and will do my best to keep in touch.
