Dave. Oh no.
I recall meeting Dave once or twice. It might have been in California or on BRT. Yep. BRT because I remember meeting Laura. I remember when the Delta forum was raising money to campaign against some terrible thing Delta was doing. This was probably 2005?? Through donations, enough money was raised to fund a truck with an ad on it that made its way around midtown during a Delta meeting. I don't recall the message, but it was noticed by tv and print media. I donated toys to the cause, and Dave sent me a blue Cholula work shirt. I wore that shirt until it wore out.
I'll say a prayer for Laura. It's so sad that Flyertalk has lost 2 valued members this week.
Rest in peace Dave, and continue to fly upfront and look after our dear departed Flyertalk friends (the list gets longer every year).
