David's cheerful demeaner and story-telling skills kept up morale for me, his cousin Richard and friends on a cold, rainy, windy day while canoeing for two weeks in the Canadian wilderness region of Temagami. On our visit to Wales, David took us to some of the many stunningly beautiful sites in his neck of the woods, enthusiascly explaining the fascinating history. What a delightful person --a joy to spend time with.
