David and Janna find the pleasure in every drop of life, everywhere they go

By Anna Brickhouse

David was the dean of the inaugural Semester at Sea voyage for UVA, and because he hired me I was able to travel with my husband and sons, then 4 and 7, to eight countries in Latin America. They will be 15 and almost 18 by the time of David’s party, and it is still a defining event of their lives, and ours. He put together an amazing adventure for us all, and made us happy every day to be there. I will always treasure that experience, and I learned so much by watching how David and Janna find the pleasure in every drop of life, everywhere they go. Eat, drink, ask questions, tell stories, laugh a lot–they know what they’re doing!

David and Janna, Bruce and I are so happy to celebrate tonight with you!
