Dave

Healey

ALTO 1

In fourth grade, the school band director tried to recruit Dave to play baritone horn. Even at that young age, Dave knew better. He held out for a year and started playing sax in fifth grade. Clarinet was added senior year in high school, to prepare for a college music scholarship where they needed clarinets. (Money talks.) Dave grew up in Massachusetts (accounting for his Red Sox devotion), went to college here in PA (Pennsylvania Military College, now known as Widener), and grad school at the University of Virginia, majoring in Mathematics and Economics, respectively. Dave has been bouncing around the Moonlighters’ sax section since getting out of the Army in the 1980s. He was a regular member of the Moonlighters for a LONG time, until a career change in 2005 took him from a (stationary) Logistics Manager at Armstrong to a (traveling) consultant for computer software. Alas, Dave’s musical endeavors went comatose for twelve years, as he was on the road nearly every week from at least Monday through Thursday. (No time for rehearsals or personal practice.) Dave blissfully retired in October 2016, and the next day he resurrected his horns and began rehabilitating his chops. Also, at that time, he decided that flute would be fun to try. It was—and is. Mostly. (The biggest problem with flute is that you can’t blame the reed.) Dave plays clarinet in the Lititz Community Band; most of his flute playing is done at church. Dave has been married to the girl of his dreams (and high school sweetheart) since 1974. Dave and Sandy live in the Manheim Township portion of Lititz. They have three wonderful children, three equally wonderful children-in-law, and ten exceptionally brilliant grandchildren. (Um, who wrote this anyway?) Dave is active in his church (St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Lancaster), active at the gym, reads a lot, enjoys travel, and can tell you about many of his Irish ancestors (since, in most cases, the statute of limitations has expired).
