Judy learned a whole lot of cookery  from Dave, particularly in terms of
willingness to experiment, substitution, and getting several things to
finish at the same time.  He once had a wealthy individual try to hire him
out of the Air Force to become his personal chef.  The guy only backed off
when Dave insisted that he fund the military retirement he would have given up.
