CW5 (ret) Dave Smith, former commander/director of the Berlin Brigade Band
(298th).
Dave has not been a smoker but thanks to Agent Orange exposure in the Nam,
he is on his 3rd go-round with lung cancer. A brilliant musician (former
student of Revelli). He was holding his own and even showing signs of
beating it again. Last night he took a sudden turn for the worse; not
expected to last much longer.
A few weeks ago, he had posted some of his travails on FB - and in
passing, mentioned casually that he was Jewish. He was immediately trolled
to repent by someone he didn't know.
He didn't need that this close to the end.
A good long-time friend.
