Dave was a participant in the annual Prophecy conference held at Calvary Chapel of the Finger Lakes. While I was never able to attend the meeting, I eagerly awaited delivery of the tapes/CDs of the speakers. I cannot recall the first time I listened but it has to be at least 15-20 years ago and I never missed a single session. I would listen to the tapes at least 2-3 times each and literally filled volumes of binders with notes I took from them. As a relatively new Christian at the time, I would marvel at Dave's insights and knowledge. Over the years, I have led many studies and even a few conferences that included mountains of wisdom that were learned from Dave. I never met him or even saw him in person but he played an important role in my life as well as many others he never met.
