Why)
Besides seeming to be the smartest person I have ever met,
David was my friend in high school and the only person from
that era whose life story I am still very interested in
following. We are not currently in contact but I considered
reconnecting and arranging a get together on this trip.
In the end, I decided to just show up and let fate determine
whether or not we would see each other this time. 
... looked like this or answered to David Wagschal. (2)
