Last year, Dave fulfilled a drem~pf.~.~many in the community by forming the campaign to restore the bell tower on the historic Murray School. He organized a parmership with Rotary, the Dublin Chamber_ of :C°mmerce' the City, past students of the school and interested citizens of the valley to raise the mopey for the project. Historic preservation is often put on the back burner.because ofmonetary constraints. Dave devised a fundraising program that required the community to come up with a portion ofthe~°iieY~i ihe' C'i~3~-~ed to fund the remaining costs. This created an ownership of the project by the community and demonstrated the pride we feel for our heritage DUring the dedication ceremony of the bell tower, many of the former stu~!~rt[scame.t~ ...... ring the bell that used to call them to class. This experience was exciting for all of us to watch and to know that the bell tower, as an example of our past, will be appreciated by generations to come.

I nominate Dave for Citizen of the Year for many reasons, but in particular, a special project he completed in 2003. He had a dream of restoring the historic Murray Sehoolhouseby replacing the bell that once topped the building. This was no small undertaking. It took thousands of dollars, lots of volunteers and a man determined to preserve, a piece of Dublin history. To me, the small historic park where the~ old_s.g.~oJ~o~~i~, along side old St. Raymond's church and. th~ PiOneer eemete~ is, by far, D~blin~s most v~l~able asset.
