Best friends in high school and college, our careers took us to different parts of the country, so we were only able to get together infrequently over the years. It was great visiting with Dave and Peg at our 50th class reunion, and Jo and I really enjoyed our more recent visits with them at their home in Clive. Daves Parkinsons affected his body, but not his mind. He was the same smart, gentle soul Ive always known him to be. Our dear friend will be missed.
