I want to reassure Dennis that there are indeed awesome people in this world, many of whom sacrifice so much to take care of others. I know many caregivers and they all have similar stories of giving and love.<br /><br />Trish<br />www.robertssister.com<br />caregiving. family. advocacy.Trish Hughes Kreishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995070221130924508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281034577370281762.post-75449601147274091062011-09-14T10:39:20.604-07:002011-09-14T10:39:20.604-07:00David sounds like a superstar to many -- what a wo...David sounds like a superstar to many -- what a wonderful living legacy you have penned!

When I was in the Road Show in 10th grade, we spent time together - he probably gave me rides to performances. I think he served as the emcee. We would perform all over the area. The picture above is just how I remember him. I'm not surprised he continues to help those less fortunate. Is he on Facebook?Shelley Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482164438374226368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281034577370281762.post-46800807046918671722011-09-13T20:54:19.006-07:002011-09-13T20:54:19.006-07:00I saw David at our 40th reunion last September.
