David was in the second group of artists who collaboratively taught classes for Positive Art, as a California Arts Council "Client as Teacher/ Artist in Residence." Participants in his mixed media workshops loved his sense of humor and his ability to make them feel comfortable. In 1992, David made a clear-headed decision to do a doctor assisted suicide. In his very organized way, David attached a yellow Post-it sticker bearing the name of the future recipient to every item in his apartment. I was moved and honored to get a telephone call asking me to come to David's apartment to receive these charcoal drawings, which I had always admired.         --Sharon Sisken
