David State's retirement celebration from the NFTA was an unforgettable occasion held on Thursday, August 21, at Riverworks, where he was honored by family members, colleagues, and friends. For the last 14 years, Dave has served as the NFTA’s General Counsel, leaving an indelible mark on our organization.

One of the highlight's of the celebration was when Dave sweetly serenaded his wife of nearly 30 years, Karen, with Alan Jackson's song, "Remember When." His daughters, Lauren and Lily, along with his niece and mother-in-law were also present. Dave also engaged everyone with a lively duet and sing-along with John Fenz to the Barenaked Ladies hit, "If I Had a $1,000,000."

The event was not only a wonderful celebration of Dave's achievements and talents, but a heartfelt tribute organized by Vicky-Marie Brunette and Jodie Zolnowski.
