David served his country in the Navy during World War II in the Pacific and Atlantic theaters. After his honorable discharge, he was the first in his family to attend college and earn a master’s degree in education. He taught high school American history in Stratford, Connecticut. Thereafter he worked in education administration. After moving out to New Mexico in 1974, he worked as a top salesman for a western clothing store in Albuquerque, NM.
