About ten days before Christmas '05 I had an odd dream. I was bicycling past the house of a good friend and customer, Dave Kohout. Dave was standing in his front yard and waved at me as I rode by. He called out to me "Well, guess you won't be seeing me for a long time." and then in 3 or 4 kick jerky moves he seemed to shrink or diminish.
When I got up that morning I figured "Pifl, I'll surely see Dave even before we open this summer."
I just found out that Dave passed away on the 14th of December.
I'd only known Dave for about 5 years but he was always a pleasure to see. A true defender of the American dream and a soldier of peerless quality. Until that day we meet, shine on you crazy okra-eater.
