Dear Sue, I had the pleasure of working with Dave in the humanities department of Camborne School, back in the mid 80's. What a great passion he had for geography and teaching. He was my first and best mentor as I started out in my career. Thank you too for hosting me as I came to Penzance to find an apartment. Saw that the funeral was at Chapel street, where I came to faith and met my wife. So many happy memories.
