    Masterclass Lady,

    Thanks so much for all of your support and posting these videos. We have more to put up, and will do so throughout the next couple of weeks.

    I look forward to CDC hosting you and Dean Kaelin on a chat. It will be awesome to have you share you insights into David, his music, and his character.

    The weekend in Utah was amazing, and we met some of the most wonderful people. I think everyone who knows David is really nice themselves. Makes sense, I guess.

    Anyway, thanks again, and we’ll be seeing you on CDC very soon.

    Take Care,

    Gallie

    Hello Gallie:

    Thanks for stopping by and it was definitely my pleasure to add these videos to the MCL site.

    We all look forward to more from the CDC site.

    I am so glad that your trip to Utah was a memorable one and,as you said, the hospitality and love coming from David’s family and extended family was testament to the character of this very special young man.

    Bye for now and look forward to chatting with you and Dean in the near future.

    MCL
