Not long ago I was talking to a serviceman here in Tucson who was recounting for me some of the challenges, the attacks, etc which had occurred during a recent deployment in Afghanistan. Over the years as his schedule has permitted he has performed as an actor in various projects. Those events in Afghanistan certainly took their toll physical and mentally and required from him a stamina and discipline and perhaps a faith that is wholly admirable. His wife, children, and extended family and friends have waited now through several deployments in recent years, always to areas of intense fighting. He is a man's man, a wonderful father and friend to be sure, and a fine soldier to be commended and recognized.
Dave Kennedy who was a member of Tucson Art Theatre, had served a couple of years in the Navy and always considered his service be instrumental in his life. Dave and his wife and children are as kind and considerate and humble of people as it gets. Get them together smiling, and your perception of the world changes in an instant - I wish I had a picture.
