Google me and you'll find...well, not me.
The first results are for a David Demaree Banta who was dean of Indiana University's law school from 1889 through 1896. Then you find some Topica archives of my various mailing lists. Then you find genealogy charts for various David Demarees who lived in the 17th and 18th Centuries, most of whom appear to have died trying to make it to America.
Then there's a guy named David Demaree who posts the following to the Texas SportsGuide Fishing Forum:
Subject: Fishing Spot 4 YMCA Troop? Date: 18-09-2002 Author: David Demaree Reply Wanted: Looking for stock pond or small lake to take small troop of local YMCA Y-Guides (approx six 7-8 yr old boys) to learn how to fish. Dads will attend and watch kids, etc.. Kids are well behaved. 4-6 dads/sons will likely attend. Catch and release is fine. Ideal location would be not too far from D/FW. Call David (214) 555-9790 or e-mail david.demaree@fy.com Thanks very much.
The first result from practicalmadness.com is the eighth one down, and a broken link anyways. (The homepage for Practical finally appears as the seventeenth search result.)
And then there's this one:
David Demaree is an energetic 12 year-old that loves to skateboard, and is active in many sports. David is beginning to approach the Word with passion, as he navigates the challenging world of Junior High. Gifted in the performing arts, he has quite a sense of humor and is a joy to be around.
They say his sister's passion for Jesus is contagious. I'll take their word for it.
