When David was 3 He begged to go hunting with his older brother Dan and Me. He was to little to keep up so I told him when he was big enough to climb to the top of the swing (15') he could go. Unknown to me he worked on climbing to the top every day. In a matter of a couple weeks he took me by the hand, led me outside and said WATCH! He went straight up the rope without the smallest hesitation. ON returning to the earth he announced: "NOW I GET TO GO HUNTING!" He did and never slowed us down. You would think I would have learned but when he was 15 he asked if he could afford a truck, could he get one? I agreed and of course HE DID! Used it to start his own business. With the same determination he got his truck, he got his EMT, Fireman, Paramedic, Engineer and Captain positions...all doing the things he loves to do.

I look at this picture and think it a miracle my brothers survived childhood hee hee.
It seems that tenacity and drive was built into that boy with purpose. I'm proud of that brother! (and amazed right along with doni!)
