This page is dedicated in memory of David V. Pollack who passed away unexpectedly on Dec 11th 2008. His presence will be missed by all who knew him for he was the most original person it has ever been my pleasure to meet.  Brilliant microbiologist, loving grandson, son, brother, patriot, and dear friend, he would always  do the right thing. For me doing the right thing has become more than a motto it is how I intend to live my life. My helmet reads captain and his lieutenant but David taught me much pertaining to life.
