However his life career was with International Business Machines. His career took him all over the world in many aspects working for IBM. He was my soul mate and while we had our differences were closer within the past few weeks. His children were his passion and prayers for them would be appreciated. He was also thrilled to have finally pass on to a grandson the family name. Dave will be missed by many. Plans for his funeral are yet incomplete but will include cremation in California and interment in Veterans Administration within NYS and will be noted once final plans are complete.

Folks, I just watched the CBS Evening news tonight, and there was a segment on the Alexandria (VA) Freedmen Cemetery. A professional genealogist, Char Bah, was mentioned as having found living descendants of many of the people buried there. You can read a little about it on this page at Char's website: http://theotheralexandria.com/2013/09/02/searching-for-descendants-of-the-al exandria-freedmen-cemetery/ Those of you who have been on the list for a long time might remember that Char joined our list for a while, looking for African-American Lovelace roots. I've sent her an email congratulating her on her accomplishment and on making the national news as a professional African-American genealogist. Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg
