I just heard that Dave had passed away, and would like this to get to Tommy and Chuckie, I don't think you guys remember me, but I was you guys baby-sitter when you were real young and living in Symsonia, I think of you boys often and so sorry for your loss. I lost my father also in April of this year. You guys will always be in my heart. Terri Tinsley Ballew. Trb210@ hotmail.com
