I remember when David left UM and the Diamondback for his internship and came back to tell the community about his illness, of course, in the paper. I was so happy to find him here and tell him that I remembered him and his work, particularly *that* column and the one where he stepped out of the "racial closet" , revealing the racism in the Diamondback offices and the Banneker scholarship that brought him to UMCP. I had been following his career since the 80s. I feel fortunate to have found to opportunity to connect with him, even if it was brief. <br />i will continue to remember your family in prayer through this time. Bless you for making the effort to connect with all of us.Coquinegrahttp://forums.delphiforums.com/TheRainbowTribe/startnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-40746609485098162242010-04-14T14:14:29.908-07:002010-04-14T14:14:29.908-07:00That was hearfelt.. thanks C.That was hearfelt.. thanks C.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778143016387670735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-68047369201026037752010-04-14T10:04:41.225-07:002010-04-14T10:04:41.225-07:00Clifton,

David and I had sushi a few months ago right before he flew to New Orleans and he told me all about the show. I hate I won't every see him again, but am thankful for our last meal together. I worked as his assistant during Kingpin and learned so much about TV from him. I am still learning from him. He and his talent will be missed!<br /><br />Thank you for your words.

I loved everyone of them in some way. From his great interviews to his screenwriting and his blogging, he was outstanding and he will be sorely missed. He was my soul and my brother from another mother. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
