David’s Journey Through Time…

… The Way I Remember It

Let’s start at the beginning…

There once was a young man named Earl…

One day, Earl went shopping. He needed a couple of shirts, socks, and some pants. He found all of them at a particular store where there was a particular fine lady working behind the counter… He asked her “Would you measure my inseam?”

Left leg or right leg?

Learning his pant size was 32x30, they quickly got married…

Bev was born shortly thereafter. Mom and Dad didn’t have a lot of money, so they had to keep her in a drawer…

Three years later, after a painting accident, I was born…

Bev and I had such a blast being our parents’ kids…

I’m so happy!

No, I’m so happy!

No, I’m so happy!

No, I’m so happy!

Shut Up!

No You Shut Up!

Help!

While vacationing in Florida, Mom and Dad broke the news. Mom was pregnant. Bev was so excited. She always wanted a little brother. I… wasn’t too pleased…

I am not too pleased

Baby Brother

David is about a month old here, and I was still having a hard time adjusting

I am having a hard time

adjusting

After Dad yelled at me “YOU WILL LIKE YOUR LITTLE BROTHER”, I decided “OK”.I mean, it could be worse…

This could be worse

I like him

…Mom kept him pretty clean…

…He liked picnics… This was all going pretty well!

I think I like him

…But I soon realized, I couldn’t go anywhere without this kid following me…

Stop following me!

I couldn’t even get a hug from my Mom without him needing one too!

I soon discovered the following equationD∆Me=H x ∏

Height

Probability of getting away from David

So the only way I could get away from this kid was to go up…

Alone at last!

Bev and I decided, once David was potty trained, we would make a concerted effort to try to like him

Look ma, No Hands!

Actually, he was turning into a pretty cute kid, and he had a huge variety of interests:

He liked music…

… loved boats…

…He always had a loving paternal instinct…

I think I will have a July wedding so I can tell my family

at Hanukah my future wife and I

are pregerrs

When the recession hit in the ‘80s, David really took it hard…

He became reclusive

David started coming home from hebrew school drunk

We constantly found him passed out in his bed

And quite honestly, in junior high, he started experimenting in drugs

“ Far Out Dude”

He started hanging out with some weird friends…

And David turned violent

Mom was stunned by his behavior

I am stunned

Dad and I decided, if he wasn’t going to shape up, we were going to take matters in our own hands

Look how tough we are

But soon, David started reading the Torah, and his life turned around

He started doing his homework again

He started dating girls

He joined the band

And he started traveling

And, yes, he finally graduated from high school

Once David left for college, Mom and Dad didn’t know anything to do other than dance!

Alone at last!

Now, we knew at a very young age David wanted to be on television

Unfortunately, he was always stuck behind the camera

Do I have a face for radio?

So after graduating college, David went to Houma, La to become a disk jockey playing “Oldies But Goodies”

Mom could often be found listening to his doo wap shows

But David could always be seen praying for a better radio career in sports

Dear Lord, get me a job doing play

by play for a winning football

team

His prayers were finally answered

David became the voice of the Nicholls State Colonels

Here is a picture of Bev and Dad after David called to say Nicholls would be “really good this year!”

Mom loved sitti ng beside David while he did his play by play. But she could never understand why she could never hear him?

These go around my ears? I just don’t get

technology!

This is my favorite picture of David. He is handsome, has caring eyes, is proud, and intelligent.

But best of all, He is my brother…

Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind, but many ships have ruled the seas.They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone, but they could build another if they please. Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt, are unique I suppose, but when they built you, brother, they broke the mold.

Now the world is filled with many wonders under the passing Sun, and sometimes something comes along and you know it's for sure the only one. The Mona Lisa, the David, the Sistine Chapel, Jesus, Mary, and Joe. And when they built you, brother, they broke the mold

When they built you, brother, they turned dust into goldWhen they built you, brother, they broke the mold
