1. Introduction by Anne Manchester

David William Curtis was born at 11pm on 11/11/1983 and died on 31/12/2004 soon after his 21st birthday.

Over the years since his death, a number of anecdotes have emerged that throw charming light on this admirable and spirited young man, my son, whose life was cut so tragically short in an accident.

More recently, the idea has arisen that we might collect these little stories and post them on this blog site for David's family and friends to enjoy.

If you would like to add a comment on any of these stories please do so. Better still, we would love you to post your own story here about David...
