MSG Dave Harrington was friend, inspiration, instructor, and mentor to many readers of SSD, me included. Although we were never close, everytime I saw him he acted like we were lifelong friends and he wanted to catch up. He passed away last month but I’ve been waiting for a proper bio to share this man’s incredible story.

May He Rest In Peace, he more than earned it.
