David's Story
Hey Red Raiders. ! It's been a minute since we spoke. I've been fortunate to have kept up with many of the good-natured alumni, as well as some of our delinquent classmates.

As luck would have it the opportunity came relatively quickly through the franchising of stores by Dufferin, a pool cue/table manufacturer that my father co-founded in the 60's .

So lots of muscle car purchases & restorations, continued my studies(cider fermentation now), radio broadcasting on The Fan/TSN 1050/Q-107/currently Sirius ch.167 "The Andrew Krystal Show" - and Boxing promotions. (* apart from my businesses, I spent 20 years on the road with my protege Lennox Lewis when he ruled the Heavyweight Boxing division & afterward as we did HBO broadcasts all over the States).
Enough already, I want to hear about my alumni !
