David was the Photo editor of the 1965 Algol and I was one of his staff photographers. I had not worked in this kind of environment with directed shoots and tight schedules, but David Was patient and trained me well. There is this picture of David, me, and Bird Loomis (the overall editor) on Page 34 of said Algol attempting to determine exactly who is in the picture. And, of course, it’s a negative, which makes it even more difficult. David was efficient, organized, and humorous. It was rewarding to work so closely with him.
