I had not seen any of Daves articles for a while so I thought I'd write him and find out if he was sick or just working with a terrible hangover. The long and short of it is that he is not writing for FAOL on a regular basis.

I wanted to therefor take a moment and thank him for his writing and motivation to get me to the salt. I liked his style, his topics and his refreshing approach to life in general.

Dave, I'll see you around this board and see you on the water, but I will miss your writing.
