This blog is being used for a book we'll be giving to Dave the night of the party. This book will be a collection of well wishes, stories, tributes, etc from all his friends, former players, coaches. It's very simple - like signing a yearbook. You can be as creative or simple as you want. Don't be left out. If you want to be in Dave's yearbook, you need to post your note by MAY 14th! Just email patrickdugg@gmail.com with your contribution and we'll post it for you.

Dave,

Having 3 daughters I never had the opportunity to coach with you or have a child play for you. However I usually had a team that practiced before or after yours (by the way it never bothered me that you took an extra 5 minutes). I also had the opportunity to watch many of the boys' games. It was obvious that you taught more than just basketball; you taught life lessons. I am sure everyone you coached has become a better person because of you.

Congratulations on a great coaching career at St. Thomas. All the best to you, Beth, Lindsey and Jake.
