Comment on Chris Smith Awarded Lost Battalion Hall’s 2006 Dave Sheppard Award by George Butler

I spent a lot of time hanging out with Dave Sheppard in the 60’s but lost track of him in the 70’s. I was deeply saddened when I learned of his passing and literally a day doesn’t go by without my thinking of him and our mutual friend, the incomparable Jim Hamilton. If there is anyone who knows what Dave was doing in his last years, where he was and how he died, I’d be grateful to learn about it.

If there are plans to award plaques, trophies etc. in Dave’s name I’m certainly game to help defray expenses.

Thanks,

George

I had a great time and got into the best shape of my life at Lost Battallion Hall. Naum Kelmansky was my coach from 1997 to 2000. Would love to get back into it.

I certainly enjoyed watching this contest, the announcers were so professional, and the whole event was well put together…
