I am sorry to hear of David's passing. When I was very young and at school. he was alwaysaround. Many of the older boys picked on him ( David) Fred Stollar and others I cannot name. I stood up for them because they did not deslerve to be pounded on by bully's for no reason.
I did this because I felt that needed to have someone be their friends. They might have been book worms or what we call nerds, but they had feelings too . I saw David at our last reunion in Bethesda. He came and said I owe you a thank you for being my friend....I said, no...... that it was I that owed him.
If you did not know or take the time to know him, we lost a special man.
Sometimes I had to stop the bullies from picking on him in the locker room. Later, in that gasbag Stanton's Creative Writing class, I read a maudlin story I wrote about him from the lectern and was booed off the stage. So much for "learning how to write"! Ha! But 40 years ago he said he was doing stand-up. Now that is resilience!

David, we were both weird in our sophomore year at least. I'm glad we spoke to each other. Rest in peace, friend.
