ran by Rev. William Sewell and where he began his 11 years journey of sobriety.

David had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back and all he asks

for in return would be for something to eat.

Stacey and Sue to Ocean City and the Casino while stopping at Golden Corral to grab

a bite to eat. He also enjoyed reading the Marvels Comic Books and watching

Arenajob was the one he loved the most being an Usher). He was out enjoying Dottie
