    David was born on June 11, 1968 in Morgan City, Louisiana, down in the thick of shrimp, oil and cajun country. He was a very sweet little boy. He grew to be interested in computers. He owned one of the first pc's during the 80's. He loved cats. He loved tinkering around on cars. He was married once to Tammy. The marriage didn't work out: another fellow wooed sweet, childlike Tammy away from him. He missed her always until he met his current fiance Lennie. And I know he still loved Tammy until the day he died. Lennie came along and eased a lot of his pain.

    David lived in Truth Or Consequences NM for the seven years ago.

    David sent me this song back in 2003. The David in the song has gray green eyes like David.

    Remember david’s eyes
    The way he used to hypnotize his young
    Remember david’s words
    The words he said to us when we were small

    Remember david’s hair
    The way his long hair fell across his brow
    Remember david’s smile
    I wonder where he’s gone to now?

    The world keeps on turning
    Everybody’s asking questions
    Tell me david, what’s the secret?
    Tell me david, what’s the answer?

    Remember david’s eyes
    The gray-green eyes he hides his world behind
    And all the things he saw,
    He saw for us when we were blind

    Remember david’s smile
    The spirit moves tonight to make you shine
    Remember david’s words
    The words he said would last all time

    He said the world keeps on turning
    Everybody’s laughing at me
    Tell me david, what’s the secret?
    Tell me david do you have the answer?
    Do you have the answer?

    He said the world keeps on turning
    Everybody’s laughing at me
    Tell me david, what’s the secret?
    Tell me david, what’s the answer?

    The day that david died
    The world stood still
    The stars refused to shine
    And now he’s far away from love
    That was his only crime

    The spirit moves tonight
    To make your young heart
    Make your young heart shine
    The words he said to us
    I’ll carry with me for all time

    He said the world keeps on turning
    Everybody’s laughing at me
    Tell me david, what’s the question?
    Tell me david, what’s the answer?
    Tell me david, what’s the answer?

    The world keeps on turning
    Everybody’s laughing at me
    Tell me david, what’s the secret?
    The world keeps on turning
    The world keeps on turning
    The world keeps on turning?

    Truth or Consequences... couldn't think of a more appropriate name for a city in the Weird-Ass-Crap capitol of the U.S., New Mexico... Roswell, Socorro, Aztec, Trinity, Los Alamos, White Sands, Dulce, you name it... I'm so glad I got the hell outta there...

    This picture was taken in Atlanta. My mom, brother Scot, me at 15 and David at 6 standing right in front of me, and Chris at 4.

    David is the boy, with me on the top and bottom right. We always had fun together.

    David is the boy on the left side of the picture. I am the lady and that is my daughter Carrie. We lived in Houston. We had some friends over for dinner and were studying the WT.

    David at 15.

    Agonus, I only had long visits to various parts of NM. I kinda liked it there. Sorry it was a bad experience for you.
