Dave Manners Puffer Profile circa 2005

Nicknamed "Griz" or "Mr. Marg Manners"...The looks of a matinee idol mean Dave is forever being pursued by young female admirerers; sorry ladies, but he is already spoken for...His mother's maiden name was Kringle...Increasingly plays the game with a style he describes as "aggressively sedentary"...A decorated veteran of the Boer War...One of the best friends a beverage fund could ever have...Has worn the same hockey pants since the late sixties...Often seen zipping about the local waterways on his SeaDoo.
