Sad news that our friend and LAGAS founder
David A. Valentine passed away recently.

His family and friends joined together virtually Sunday July 12 2020
for a Memorial Service to celebrate his life, his art, his wisdom, the way he made us all laugh,
and the role he played, large or small, in each of our lives.
