photo by Katy Yoder In January, when students at Black Butte School in Camp Sherman were invited to write a letter to Deputy Dave Blann, some of them remembered his laugh and playful nature. Others were too new to Camp Sherman and never got to meet him before he passed away last year.
For 24 years, “Deputy Dave,” as he was widely known, lived in the Camp Sherman community and was a friend and protector for his neighbors. By the time students finished their letters and illustrations, even those who never met him knew he was a very special person.
