Dave Gibson's passing
Posted Monday, June 28, 2010 07:13 AM

Thanks to Jerry for posting Dave Gibson's obituary so promptly.

One important aspect of Dave's life that does not receive mention -- undoutedbly because Dave and his wife Avalon wanted it that way -- was his arrest and subsequent acquittal as a McMurray College student for "sitting in" a segregated lunch counter in the 1960's in Alabama.  Dave was always very humble about this act of courage but I think it deserves attention.  How many of us would have ventured into the milieu of night sticks and police dogs of that era and put our convictions on the line like that?  Hats off to you, Dave.
