  • Thank you!

    Well everyone, thank you for your thoughts and prayers – they worked great.  I’ll be posting more photos (and video!) as time permits so be sure to keep checking back. Lots of people have asked about the name.  Anthony is my middle name and David is a small tribute to all of the great friends…
