David Ha ube, a highly respected game off i ­cia l in the Lake Michigan and Lake Erie conferences for more than 15 years, died of cancer in December . Dave's involvement in wheelchair sports dates back to the late '60s when he decided to organize a program in the Toledo, Ohio area as a staff member for the Easter Sea l Society. ~t effort blossomed into the Toledo Si Iver Streaks team which currentl y enjoys wide­spread recognition as one of the NWBA's strongest and more highly organi zed aggre­gates.

Dave was a batt ler for the cause and knew that good, ob jective offic iat ing was nec­essary to promote and advance the spor t in the eyes of both the players and the publ ic . FOr that reason, he devoted himself to honing his officiating ski lis and under ­standing of the rules. He was cal led on frequently to organize and conduc t offic­iating cl ini cs in the midwes t . He was honored by selection to offic iate in sev­eral NWBA sectional tournaments as wei I as national tournaments in Minneapo I is in 1982 (a lternate) and Kansas City in 198'4.

Dave wi I I be sore ly missed, and memorial contributions may be made in hi s name to the Toledo Silver Streaks Wheelcha ir Basketba ll Team, P.O. Box 6475, Toledo , a-l 43612.

No sooner had we rrade ment ion in the last issue of the NWBA Newsletter that ~vid Ki ley of the Casa Col ina Condors had been photographed in a memorable moment with his two chi Idren following a slfl'TJ'er's day workout, in the January 11 issue of

rts I I lustra ted than ~vid and his Iidren reappeared in the January 25

issue. This time they are seen from the front. The earlier, two-page spread, showed them ITDving away from the camera. \-\hat proopted the publ ication of the second photo was a request from a reader to have them viewed from the front. His letter to the editor, printed in the same section, read in part:

"The photograph of ~vid Ki ley's chi Idren giving him a lift heme was the ITDst emotionally touching picture in the history of your magazine. If only the rest of society could see wheelchair athletes the way Ki ley's chi Idren see him."

we agree that the image carries a vibrant Il'Ji!,ssage for the authent i city of \Wee I cha i r sports as an avenue for athletic expression of disabled individuals.
