Wow, another Pontiacker. David was in my elementary class, and like Bill
Heltsley, followed me to MSB. Yeah, he was different, but I think, like David
Hedin, his parents never taught him anything, and sheltered him. Our family
was close to his aunt Carol and her husband Dick, as they went to our church.
Like you Rich, I talked to him at MSB, but I didn’t see him for many years,
until I took Spec Tran and we rode in the same car to work. He worked at
Peckham, and then I learned that he had a stand in Flint, in earlier years. I
believe he lived in a group home? He smoked cigarettes, I know because I could
smell smoke on him. But, anyway, R.I.P. David. May you now find peace.

I hope Dave Hoban finds acceptance now. I believe he pretty much walked alone
in this world. He didn't have many friends because he was shal I say,
different. I have the title for a new song. The man in the background. Dave
wasn't a bad person. He never hurt anybody. He was different. I say shame on
me for not reaching out and giving him at least simple acknowledgment. Oh, I
wasn't mean to him, I talked to him when I saw him. Dave fought his demons.
Other than people like Mark Martin, and a few others not many I'm sure, he
fought the demons alone. I hope your not alone now Mister Hoban. Maybe you
can forgive those of us who didn't understand. We can be a selfish society.To
