Howard S. "Dave" Davenport

Every kid, growing up, has his role model. Whether a sports figure, astronaut, president or other. I was fortunate in that my father turned out to be my role model, best friend, and set an example that if I am lucky I will one day come close to matching. This section of my page is devoted to him. He was a War Hero, Pioneer of RC model aviation, inventor, craftsman, and the best father a kid could have.
