Way back in 1992 or 93 David joined the Kappa Delta Pi honor society when he was attending Appalachian State University. I guess this is a very prestigious honor society and all new member were nice suits to the induction ceremony. David being the non-conformist he is wore a suit and tie... along with roller blades and his Oakley sunglasses! The induction ceremony went on but the next day David was summoned to the Deans office and scolded for the "inappropriate behavior" David laughed it off!!!!

OBX, Where exactly are you and David from in NC? I graduated from high school in Asheville in '95. I had several friends go to App and spent a good amount of time in Boone. The more I hear about him, the more I feel we would have had in common. I feel it's unfortunate that our paths didn't cross, I would have enjoyed a conversation or two with the infamous TM.

Gary, thanks a lot for letting us know, and for the invite.

Gotta catch a flight to Virginia this morning (Friday), but Jen and I would've loved to attend. Even though we won't be there, just know that you and all of David's friends and family will be in our thoughts.

I hope to meet/climb with many of you this summer.

Aubrey
