I first met David on a quick tour of Anthropology during my interview.

—Susan Cochran

Anthropology MSO

I met with him to find out just what work he actually did and he said why a little bit of everything:

- moving furniture

- setting up computers

- loading software

- multitude of art work

- computer graphics

- during the rain, checked our dept for leaks

- dept safety rep ‑ he wouldn't let me move our emergency gathering place to the shoe store at Nordstroms

- made countless flyers

- multitude of mapping items

- assisted a large number of temporary faculty

- photographer

- worked on books, his family has been in books

- helped with every picnic, holiday event and also made sure the wine was opened, breathing and good

- birthday smoothies

David has always been quick with a smile, a friendly greeting and genuinely personable. And when you bring a bike into the mix, he doesn't hold back. I got a Costco bike a while ago and biked in from the Mesa. When David found out, he was all over the bike, checking it out and he noticed that the handle bars were a bit off and the seat height was right for my height and said we'd go over to the bike shop and check it out. On the way there, I thanked him for using his break to go there with me... He said no problem, I have to understand that going to bike shop to him was like going to Nordstroms to me!

He delights in his family and his triking has kept him young. I can't wait get postcards from his adventures.

I just wanted mention that there are times when I'd go to find David and his door would be closed and he always left a sticky note so we'd know where he is... here is a sampling before he signed his retirement papers... and after!
