David lived a few blocks away.  He was the first person I knew who got the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" album, I think around the time we graduated.  He went off to college in Minnesota and we lost touch, but I always wondered how his life worked out.

David was immensely gifted; a boy of tremendous intellectual capacity.  He played music, wrote well, spoke fluent Spanish almost without an accent.  The last time I saw him was in October of 68. He was at the U of A after an unhappy year in a small, but prestigious, college in Minnesota (Carleton). I was off to Europe, possibly never to return (I have been back several times on visits) and we lost touch.  I see that he passed away in Tucson. Did any of you out there remain in touch with him?  I always thought he would become a Harvard professor,  a columnist with the New York Times or a novelist, but life doesn't always follow a rational course. If any of you knew him in later years, I would be happy to hear from you. He was a real influence on me during my youth.

I remember David quite well. He was remarkably articulate and seemed mature beyond his years when I knew him at THS. He was a regular contributor of very sophisticated poetry to the Quarterly magazine. He is remembered!
