My observation took place while attending a local NAACP luncheon, which lasted a total of about 3 hours. As the many speakers finished up, I took noticednotice and focused my attention on a particular conversation being had by two gentlemen. Dave would beis the person I would observed, unbeknownst to him. I had met him years ago through a mutual friend, and it was good seeing him. He possessed a calm demeanor and showed a zest for life that was infectious.
