in THE MAIN WALL
Just wanted to pass along some sad news today. We lost a fellow member of our wonderful industry today. Mr. David Broome passed away earlier today with his wife and family by his side. I know many of you have learned so much from this man over the years (and yes some have had disagreement) but this is the place where I first met Dave at a steam session in Marlboro, MA so many years ago. David loved the WALL and loved to learn and spread the knowledge. Rest in Peace my friend.

    Sad to hear. He was a regular here on The Wall with so much inspiration, willingness to share, good humor and depth of insight. RIP, buddy.
