(Foreground L to R) Mark Merzoian, James Doty & Dave Brown. It was great seeing Dave Brown present and in good health. Only three days after attending last year's Double D event, Dave suddenly learned that he was to begin a process of weeks and months in the hospital and home recovery fighting off a serious ailment. I suspect Dave truly enjoyed the day more than anyone else!

Mike Southworth (my bottle digging partner) is seen standing in the background to the left chatting with Dave Hall. Norm James & Pat O'Connor are relaxing at the far right.
