September 29 after a long battle with cancer. David was the TSHA's edu-
cational services director for twenty years and was the originator of many
innovative educational programs for the Association. In recent years
David had received several awards for his outstanding contributions as a
history educator. A memorial service is scheduled for 11 a.m. on
Saturday, October 25 at All Saint's Episcopal Church, 209 W. 27th St. in
Austin, on the north edge of the University of Texas campus. A remem-
brance of David's life and work will appear in a future issue of the
