Hobbies and Interests: |
"I'm
keeping myself busy with an avid interest in fantasy baseball, and a new
found love for the theater. Since last summer, I have appeared in One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Man of La Mancha, A Streetcar Named Desire,
Annie, and The Fantasticks. Mostly in small, supporting roles, but I do
enjoy it. I will also be appearing in the ballet Giselle, but in a
non-dancing role, for which I and the audience will be eternally
grateful."
Dave gets production credits for "Scenic Painting" in Anderson's
Mainstay Theatre's comedic play "Run for Your Wife."
Dave reported on 10/14/02, "I am
continuing to be actively involved in community theater here, having
been onstage for four shows this season (The Nerd, You Can't Take It
With You, Of Mice and Men, and Guys and Dolls). [See picture
above-right for Dave in "Of Mice and Men."] I am
currently on the theater's Board of Directors, so I now get some say so
in what shows they do."
I checked out Anderson's Mainstage Theater
group's webpage in August 2003, and see that Dave is still extremely
active. You can find his name all over the place as a character in
numerous plays listed in their "Archive" section, or as "Assistant
Director/Stage Manager" of former and future plays that they are
presenting. Check it out yourself...

| Chris Mal Notes: |
One of my favorite memories of
Blose: The day he got the perm.
A quote from his sister: "David,
David! There's a wild dog in
the yard!" I'm
not even sure what that was all about any more, but it still makes me
chuckle.
Then there was the 10th grade baseball incident. Was it a
bad throw from Todd Bowers or a bad catch by first baseman
Blose? No one ever agreed. What was agreed was that I had broken
my jaw and required surgery to wire it shut for two months. (Two months
in which I actually gained weight from all the milkshakes that they fed
me, by the way!)
Why didn't we ever call him "Dave"? He was
always just "Blose." It wasn't until now, years later, that this strikes
me as odd. It was kind of like "Sting" or "Cher"...or "Prince". He
should change his name to a symbol, and become, "The Mt. Penn High
School graduate formerly known as Blose."
Blose's nick-name, if
you'll recall was "Elvis". Why did we call him "Elvis"?
Blose was definitely involved - Band all four years, Chorus all four
years, Leader Corps 3 years, Science Club 3 years, Bowling 4 years,
Baseball 4 years, and Basketball manager 3 years.
Dave says he tries to get back to Reading about twice every year �
once in the summer and once around Christmas.
I think everyone would
agree, David was one of the kindest people in the class, and unequivocally
the most tolerant, as well. And, reflecting upon those four years,
one of my favorite classmates.
Dave is still active in the theater as you
can see below...
In the 1983 Senior Class Will (found in the
June 1983 issue of Penn
Post), Ray Deeter left the French Horn section to David
Blose.
Some very nice things people have had to
say about Dave on Yahoo:
- "Buch has the biggest heart I know. He is always
a gentleman and genuinely cares about people. I admire that he
stands by what he believes and can express those beliefs with tact.
I hope he finds a good woman. He would treat her like a princess."
- "Dave is a very dear friend that I am so blessed
to have. I hope our friendship lasts many more years. The best thing
I could wish for David is a wonderful woman to walk into his life
and treasure him as he should be."
- "Buch is a very nice guy hes always there when
people need his help we all need buch as a good friend."

| Senior Memories
(Copied directly from the Senior Yearbook): |
| If I had a Blosegun ... Blose-a-Mania
... Audrey and the bet ... Wrong car at Rama ... missing water bottles
... Tag Team Wrestling ... Zuber at Columbia ... Slutsky's
bricks ... German with Mr. Brossman. |

From the
November 1984
Penn Post
REAGAN WINS MOCK ELECTION
Reagan, along with all the
Republican candidates, swept the mock election held at MPHS November 5.
Of 180 votes Reagan and Bush received 123. Only a total of 3 students
voted for members of the minor parties. The closest contest was between
Stull and O�Pake, the incumbent, for state senator. Stull won by a
margin of 87-68.
The students favored all three referendum questions.
Students were required to register in October. Those
who didn�t register were turned away from the polls. A disappointing 45%
of the students registered only 26% of the seniors. Of the registered
voters, 87% cast their ballots at the polls.
Since we had a regular voting machine, this was an
opportunity for the students to learn by doing. The poll workers were
members of the Penn Post staff. With
David Blose in charge, they also
organized the registration and the election with the help of Mr.
Orlando. |
