At 6 foot 7 inches, our 19 year-old David towers over the rest of us. He loves to swim, bike, and run, so triathlon has been a perfect fit for him. His powerful muscles propel him to speeds the rest of us can only admire. David is usually the first in our family to figure out cutting-edge technology, like MP3 players, digital cameras, iPhones, and those child-proof lids on medicine bottles. He’s a voracious reader with an affinity for history and biographies and an elegant dancer who looks positively debonair gliding across the ballroom floor in the tuxedo he bought himself. He studied violin for a couple of semesters, as well, but prefers playing the piano, where his large hands and long limbs are an asset rather than a liability. We’re going to miss all those classical pieces he plays so loud and fast and well and often, once he leaves home. He’ll be graduating from UT Tyler in May 2012 and plans to attend dental school after that.
