One of the memories I have of this great guy is on an audio tape. When David was about 7 years old I handed him a tape recorder and told this little comedian to record anything he wanted. Well, he chose to do a Mr. Rogers imitation. Its only a couple of minutes long, but it is pure entertainment. Even at 7, David knew how to bring a smile and a laugh to anyone.
