I had the opportunity to experience the essence of Dave at the 100th Anniversary celebration of the Long Trail during the weekend of May 21-23. I went up to Stowe area with my friend who is a member-at-large of the GMC. I had the time of my life eating, drinking and hiking with these wonderful people of the Club. I enjoyed Dave's slideshow presentation of his and Lexi's pub-crawl hike in Great Britain (where they "stealth camped" ;) to quote Dave). I did not get to meet him personally but I got a sense of him from his presentation and reading the Long Trail News and Green Mountain Club material. He seemed like a wonderful, generous, talented man and I can only imagine the great loss that his friends and companions feel and the devastation that Lexi and Linnaea are suffering. I cried myself and had not even met him personally. My heart goes out to you as well as my prayers. God bless.
