Dave was the Director of Cadets at CMR when I first met him and his lovely wife, Ester. Dave wrote and Ester gave the toast to the bride at Dani and my wedding in 1976 and I got the honour to server under him as a Naval Officer on HMCS Skeena in 1977. The picture below was from one of our Caribbean exercises where we played Croquet in Mayport Florida at the Admiral's garden party. I learned a lot from Dave and his passion for the sea. I will remember him as a friend, forever. While we have not kept up, due to careers and locations,, I have thought of him often. Rest in peace, Sir.

This is a picture of Captain Dave Pollard that was taken in March 1988 while on the Royal Canadian Navy Submarine Study Team Project while on a harbour tour in Sydney, Australia.
