“Susan and I are so sorry to learn of David's passing. Although we hadn't seen him in quite a while, we were longtime friends, neighbors, and fellow church members before he moved the family to Maine. David and I were colleagues for many years at The Christian Science Monitor. Our sincerest condolences to Isobel, their daughters and grandchildren, and all other members of the family. Bob and Susan Kilborn Yarmouthport, MA”
