My sympathies to David's family.  My memory of David goes back before kindergarten...David lived on Brown Street near a corner supported by 'Student Crossing Guards'...these were upper classmen (5th & 6th graders attending Horace Mann School)...guards assembled each morning before school at lunch recess and when school dismissed...their 'uniform' was a white 'belt' and sash with shiny badges, and armed with a cane pole with a red flag attached (sorry for the long desription...am sure many of you remember)....David's mother made him a 'uniform' before he entered school - maybe age 4, and he would march to his corner and assist the offical guards.  I believe the teacher in charge of this opertation was Mrs. Meyers - she loved David's immulation and when it came time for him to advance through school to the proper grade, she named David to be the Guard Captain - a lofty postion and great honor!
