Very sorry to read this. While I was not fortunate enough to know Dave personally, he always brought great value to this fourm and will certainly be missed.
RIP davetravels

49 states and 80 countries - wow.
I am at 50 states, two territories, and 45 countries. I've got a long way to go to meet his standards!
I made a concerted effort to get my last three states a couple of years ago; wonder why he did not cross that last one off and which state it was?
RIP kindred soul

Actually, he only went to 49 states.

See for yourself.
PS. When I know him. I met him in ZRH. He flew with me. He came onboard the aircraft and he saw me. He & I flew out ZRH to ATL.

No actually, he only went 80 different countries, not 100 countries. So please read his obituaries again.

Does anyone know the story of how he became friends with Howard Stern? Was Stern originally a customer during some trip to Pittsburgh?
