His extensive experience allowed him to survive in a very litigious society.
If there was a need for verification or research, he did it and the resulting value-added story changed our society for the better.
A decade ago, the rapidly growing motor-home industry had few regulations and it seemed that some in the industry took advantage of that.
I approached David to do a story about a particular aspect which had an element of unfairness.
He did his homework and I have no doubt the resulting story has had a part to play in the development of that industry for the better.
Congratulations and best wishes to David, who has made a huge difference to the sustainability and progress of this corner of the world and beyond.
Throughout his time as editor he maintained a proper professional "distance" and dealt with tens of thousands of residents.
It is an amazing and wonderful situation that I feel I can claim him as a friend.
