David's Story
Life
Hi, Crestonites!
Vanden Akker told me he's going to the 30th, so I thought I'd rejoin Classmates for 3 months to keep in touch.
Doesn't it seem like the years have flown by? I know it's a cliche', but I think about it sometimes -- especially when I down a double espresso cappuccino in the coffee shop before the workday begins. (Yeah! Java, baby!)

Yep, I moved to Lawrence, Kansas in August 1996 after living in the Northend for 36 years. I had a great job offer with Hill's Pet Nutrition, the pet food division of Colgate-Palmolive.
I've been married 19 years to Colleen and have three children: Adam (16), Erica (13), and Bryce (11).
My interests include travel, flash-fiction (check out Amazon "Aesop in a Monkey Suit," and "Workers Write"), tennis, running, mountain biking, and a good Pale Ale every now and then.
Hope everyone is healthy and living a simple life.
Take care,
Dave
