​

David had an army of guardian angels who followed him on the river trips and to the Clearwater Festival. I remember he and I loading up the boat (the Robert Bickford) on the janky trailer and following him to Croton thinking we would never make it without the boat winding up on Route 9. But the angles would steer the boat and we always had a great weekend with the BBBB team.

One year on the first evening there was a VIP event with Jackson Browne playing in a small tent. We were not VIPs but we set up our chairs outside by the River, popped a cold one and kicked off our weekend.

Hauling boats, rowing, sleeping outside, interacting with our quirky band of teens, eathing with hundreds of other volunteers, wild dancing and just being together in a very special time and place. I will miss David greatly. I was fortunate to be his friend and to be included in his adventures. Peace
