Susan
Just notice this on the internet and was wondering if you attended London Teacher’s college in the early 1970.
The Susan I am looking for had a bridesmaid named Carol and the three of us attended teacher’s college together. If you are this person could you please email me. Thank you.

I worked with Dave many times but will remember a time when he invited my wife and I and a few of our kids over for a swim when we we were camping in Grand Bend. Susan and Dave were very gracious hosts. He will be missed by many.

My prayer is that these memories will give you support when needed, give you a smile when needed, and manage to give you the feeling of love he felt for you, his family when needed.
