On March 3, 2011, his short story was selected as a finalist for a 2011 Derringer Award.
Condolences can be sent to friend William Swank at wgswank@san.rr.com.
I hope everyone will take another look at this award-nominated story and leave a comment.

From Bill Swank:
Dave signed this for my son, Billy, when he was two or three years old. Dave went to Clairemont High School in San Diego, but didn't play football until he went to Cal Western where he made Little All-American. Billy went to Clairemont where he lettered in football.
Dave is in the back row, far right...
