Dave Lockard is a retired commercial insurance safety representative who has a love for American & world history who has finally found out in life that he can actually learn more by listening than by talking. Dave knew several WW-1 (aka ‘The Great War’) Veterans growing up that influenced his knowledge of how 100 year old events are still influencing much in the world today. Dave has an amazingly tolerant wife, a Kool Aid budget and a fine wine taste who’d rather have a root beer float than a beer.
