We sang a duet outside the Brighton org and it was great fun. In my mind, he was a fixture in the UK critic milieu, larger and louder than life. I often thought he'd fit right in with the ancient warriors, only his weapon was wit and intelligence rather than a broadax. Dave, you just missed Hubbard, whose 21 year break was up. Please report to the implant station early, we need you back! I remember Dave with great fondness. We sang a duet outside the Brighton org and it was great fun.

He was the first critics I ever met. Quite mad of course. I can't call him Eccentric because that term is reserved for the wealthy. As you can tell from the photos, he cut an *ahem* imposing figure. I remember my first TCR picket. I had arrived way too early and so had he. So for about 20 minutes we picketed alone. If it had been anyone else I would probably have waited for the rest of the gang, but not Dave. He was happily marching up and down bellowing into his megaphone and putting the fear of gosh into unsuspecting passers by. So I felt compelled to join him if only to assure people they weren't being attacked. It was a very uncomfortable 20 minutes. That was Dave. Striding out where others would timidly tip-toe, brandishing that toilet seat and to hell with what anyone else thought. No-one was better suited to be glorious leader of the ARSCC(wdne) UK Chapter. Thanks Dave. Thanks for bringing a little levity and lunacy to our merry band of SPs. Don't forget you signed a gazillion year contract with the ARSCC(wdne) and when you pick out your next body, try to make sure it works a little better, ok? Lance. Wow.
