Dave Edney: A Remembrance and Tribute
Dave Edney
A.k.a. Captain Dave, Pirate Dave, Super Dave, Teammate, Loyal friend, Son, Brother, Papa, Dad, Hon
B. May 7, 1960
D. February 13, 2016 (by all accounts TOO SOON!)
Rain, shine, sleet or snow please join us for a Remembrance and Gathering of Storytelling on Thursday February 18, 2016 anytime between High Noon and 501 at the Lakemont Lodge, 3211 Lakemont Dr., Arnold, CA 95223.
Dave embodied selfless service, concern, and actual care for the environment. He cared about all the things most people don't want to discuss. He thought through his ways and invested in people; and it showed. He taught perseverance with passion and concern. He exemplified a humble leader who was able to have a great part in many lives. Oh but he never wanted us forget to have fun doing it.
Costumes strongly encouraged. Come in your favorite Hawaiian shirt, pirate outfit, playboy bunny, Shrek, elf, yoga pants, or whatever Dave-like costume brings up your favorite memory of the great Dave Edney.
Please bring a picture(s) with a story to share and we'll have poster boards to display your pictures. Food and beverages will be provided.
Dress up, be crazy, be the wonder... Be Dave.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Arnold Rim Trail in honor of Dave.

In all of 1849, 90,000 hopefuls traveled by land and by sea to try their hand at one of the greatest lotteries nature had created. From then on, they would always be known as the 49ers.
One particular individual, Rhode Islander Henry Pinkney Angell, opened the first store in a tent near what is now known as Angels Creek. He established himself as the first merchant of the new camp, selling necessities to his once fellow miners.
People from all over the world rushed to Angels Camp; an estimated 3,500 Chinese miners alone found their way to Calaveras County by 1860.
In the new exhibit, visitors can view historical artifacts from the museum's extensive collections including horn spoons for gold dust, a Utica Mine manager's monthly time book, items from the Calaveras Hotel that burned down, a 1858-1865 ledger from John Peirano's Store once located on Main Street and Birds Way in downtown Angels, frog carriers from the 1958 international frog jump, and a late 1800s commercial laundry stove believed to have been used in a Chinese laundry located on Birds Way. The exhibit also includes historical images and a beautiful artwork titled "Chinese Family Laundry, 1880s" by renowned artist Mian Situ who generously provided permission to use a reproduction of his artwork.
