My deepest condolences to the Rusk family. I knew David when I worked at the Orosi Library. Every year he would bring me a new calendar. He was a real nice person.

I was very sorry to learn of David's passing. At times he and I had studyhall together at Redwood. We would go to the adjoining library and look at military history books. I remember those times fondly. He always amazed me with his vast knowledge regarding the U.S. Navy and its ships.
