I am so sorry I was away in Maine at the time of David's death. When I returned it was too late to attend the Memorial Service. I have known David since abt. 1948 or 49. I knew his parents as well. My parents were very fond of the Musgraves, my Dad worked for Mr. Musgrave for a long time. I am so sorry I was not able to attend.
