“I see fields of green
Red Roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.”
David Wilson Cook, Musician, Philosopher, Poet, Naval Officer, Trail
Creator, Financial Advisor, graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard
Business School subscribed to Jelly Roll Morton’s sage dictum “always
give ’em melody with plenty of rhythm.”
David lived by many footpaths in the village of Elkins, NH with his
best friend and cherished wife Celeste where they have shared five
children, fourteen grandchildren, and three great grands, and their
yellow lab Sebastian.
