family and friends for inspiring,
challenging, and encouraging him to
chase his stage dreams.
DAVID SCANLON
MAN 2
David is thankful for the opportunity
to help bring such an important story
to the stage at TCR. Stories help us
remember; they give us a mechanism
to learn from our mistakes, they help
us grow. It is only through telling
stories such as this that we may help
ensure certain parts of our history do
not repeat themselves.
