			: I too was introduced to this wonderful hobby by David Hannah at the Browning Railroad in 1985. Barry Bogs and I were there together on our hands and knees connecting track panels for the day. By chance it was a workday. That was my introduction. Surprised I came back! But I did and brought Gil Freitag with me the next time. Since 1985, I've loved this segment of the hobby ever since.

	David learned not to underbuild bridges. He rebuilt the long bridge on [[Browning Plantation\|The Browning]] for strength and safety, using three 2x4s on edge, laminated. Some visiting kids rocked a caboose off the bridge, so Hannah made the bridges wide enough to stand on. He made the bridges strong enough to hold a Ford tractor.

	While rebuilding the North spillway dam bridge Jack Lucks fell off the side! He was putting down 2x4 flats on I-beams, which were 30 feet long, a 60 foot long bridge. Jack stepped on a 2x4 not attached, fell off the side, cracked his arm, and had to have a cast. So Hannah named it '''Lucks Bridge'''.

	The top of the dam had 500 feet of track, two tracks, for a total 1000 feet of track. The bridge was on the southeast end of Lake, just off the dam.

			: A rarer individual you will never meet. Those of us fortunate enough to know him should rejoice that he was part of our lives. I believe that, a man's character can be measured by the friends he keeps and his generosity towards others. I never knew David to meet a stranger! In our world of the Live Steam Hobby, David was known from coast to coast. He would spread his own brand of Texas comradery and hospitality. He was oh so proud of Texas!

			: His Browning Plantation Railroad was legendary! A warmer and welcoming place you would not find. His generosity formed the Houston Area Live Steamers (HALS). The club was fortunate and should be ever so grateful to have had such a benefactor!
