This book was launched with an e-mail message to a dozen or so of your friends and family asking for stories and photos. The feedback was amazing!

Thank you for inspiring this kind of warmth and appreciation in all of us who have been fortunate enough to be a part of your first 60 years. We couldn’t find everybody, but please know that this small tribute is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your impact on the world. We love you. We 2 respect you. We are inspired by you. And we are looking forward to the years ahead with you.

What are your earliest memories of David? I first met him when our parents came home from the Hospital toting a wee baby boy. He seemed like a happy soul with a tuft of blonde hair and fat little cheeks at both ends. I wondered why I needed another brother. already had Geb... I must say at almost 11 years old, that I wasn't that impressed with him. - Judy

In the deepest corners of my mind, I can recall his room upstairs at Mudder’s house. I was probably in the 6 to 10 years of age range so he would have been about 20... he had an extensive stereo set-up with a massive reel-to-reel tape player that we were absolutely not allowed to touch. - Michael Lehman 2

My earliest memories of adventures with Dad are exploring the sand dunes and burial mounds out in the desert, and SCUBA diving in the pool in Bahrain... He would bring home these huge shells from his dive trips to the Red Sea. I don't even think I could lift them. - Dave

David Burden has created a company that is unmatched and the envy of his industry. Being hired by Timbers Resorts is the same as being hired by the Tiffany’s of resort-real estate development. His genius was confirmed right out of the gate with the Timbers Club. His vision for a muddy, locals’ parking lot in Snowmass Village became the benchmark for private residence clubs. He delivers on his promises. He is generous. He is an enthusiastic leader and he is a thoughtful CEO. - Amy Feldman

The rewards of completing the Timbers Club and the rave reviews the development received were great. One Steamboat Place is a “once in a lifetime building project” that I have enjoyed more than any other project that I have been involved with during my 40 years in the business. - Mark Norris 14

David has taught me more about resort real estate the all my other relationships combined. - Dean Macfarlan

Sandy was sick in the Poggibonsi hospital I understood how much he loved her waiting outside the ER with him as he could not care less about anything else going on around him. - Silvia Anichini

From David we have learned to do the best we can in each endeavor, not cut any corners to reach the successful completion of our developments. In many respects that’s how he takes care of his personal life. I really admire the relationships he has with his family. - Mark Norris 22

I picture David happiest or the most content sitting on the deck at his new house listening to the river, thinking about what his next accomplishment will be. Cathy Ross
