Dave spoke to us last week about his departure south: South Burlington, Vermont. Dave expressed his appreciation of time spent in Haverhill, his career at the Family Bank and his association with Rotary. He and Joe Cleary reminded us of their battle to bring women into Haverhill Rotary. Hopefully Dave will have an opportunity to pay us an occasionally visit and let us know how Vermont is spending all of his tax money.
