Marilyn, I had the distinct pleasure of serving with David on the Lancaster Park Homeowner's Association Board. He did much to help us become better stewards of the subdivision. His advice and consul was respected and trusted. Personally, he showed me ways to be better at serving the subdivision. I really enjoyed the time that I got to spend with him and considered him a friend. I will miss him. respectfully, Chuck Keller 4220 W. Detroit St. 461-8090

Very nice memory of David! He will be missed! I really don't need to be eating his pieces of chocolate pie though! No more grief about the Sooners either! He wouldn't be happy to know that they moved ahead of his Longhorns in BCS, especially after they got beat by them in Dallas! Love you all!
