Having
resigned in 1990 to make way for new leadership, David with Linda,
his wife of 40 years, enjoys attending church without all the
weighty responsibilities of ministerial leadership.
David and Linda have a son, Matthew, now thirty-six years old, who attended the church’s religious
education programs during childhood and adolescence. He is now married and has a five year old
daughter, Lily.
As Minister Emeritus, David provides occasional backup coverage for Aaron, at Aaron’s invitation.
From time to time David teaches in the church school and is volunteering as a mentor in the Coming of Age Group
this year. He is also active in the UU Humanist Group at church. Among his special interests are Humanism and the World
Religions, especially Islam.
In the last fourteen years, since his retirement, David has enjoyed driving children in the Wachusett
Region (mostly Holden) to school and home again in the big yellow school bus. Some of
them, at least, say that he is “the world’s best school bus driver.”
Since retirement, David has also found time to become a Trip Leader, planning and leading trips for the
Worcester Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club. These are mostly canoe and kayak day trips, but include an
occasional overnight or hiking trip.
David also organizes extended summer wilderness trips, mostly in the Eastern US, Ontario, and Québec,
and occasional winter campouts in Central Massachusetts.
David is avidly interested in nature studies, including the identification of trees, flowers, birds, tracking and animal
sign, and old growth forests.

Minister Emeritus
