He knew how to relate to the kids who attended and how to get them involved in learning. When asked what participants learned from this program, responses included 'I actually got to learn a new skill!', 'The importance of parents and adults to play with children and mentor them as they learn. That yo-yoing can be a lifetime activity.' 'The neat part is that Dave was a teacher & changed careers, which shows kids they can do anything!'
