David Thompson

Toronto had the most late sign-ups with 65, but on a percentage basis, Quinte West in the southeast Ontario took the prize with almost half its 30 candidates registering in the final days possible.

David Thompson, who works in the dairy industry, added his name to those of Zach Harden and Shelley Staddle, seeking the open mayor's chair after a long time Quintin Quincy West Leader Jim Harrison announced his retirement.

I'm the type of person that thinks first, then acts intentionally.

The last day to register fit my approach, Thompson said in an email, adding that he is promising to use strong mayor powers to ensure all annual property tax freezes.

I'm gonna give you a few posters.

One, David Thompson, Skywalker.

Okay.

I had the poster where he had the-

There's, like, no rim in sight.

There's nothing insight, just him getting ready to punch it on somebody.

I loved David Thompson.

I had that poster in my bedroom.

So we're like, "Man, Coach, we hate that you're leaving, man, but I don't know, y- y- you know, y- you feel good about your decision or y- you change, you change your mind?" He's like, "Look, I'm gonna tell you guys something.

Um, after we won the game last night, this booster," I won't mention his name, "He came up to me and said..." Now, the, the year before we had lost to North Carolina State and David Thompson in my freshman year down in Greensboro.

The booster came up to him and said c- uh, "Yeah, Coach Johnny, we did it." And said, "Last year you blew it.

You blew it last year, but this year we did it.

All about the story.

And so after my junior year at UCLA, I'm going to the Denver Nuggets.

Uh, Sam Gilbert, big time booster, flies myself and Richard Washington down to Denver to McNichols arena to watch the New York Nets and Dr. J play against David Thompson and the Denver Nuggets.

It was the greatest aerial dunk fest I've ever seen in my life.

From the south the Spaniard, illustrated in figures like Garces and others, held out hands which rarely grasped the waiting commerce.

From the north and northeast there was the steady advance of the sturdy Scotch and English, typified in the deeds of the Henrys, Thompson, Mackenzie, and the leaders of the organized fur trade, explorers, traders, captains of industry, carrying the flags of the Hudson's Bay and Northwest fur companies across northern America to the Pacific.

On the far northwestern coast the Russian appeared as fur trader in the middle of the 18th century, and the close of the century saw the merchants of Boston claiming their share of the fur traffic of that coast.

The American trapper becomes a conspicuous figure in the early years of the 19th century.

Hunters crossing the Cimarron Desert set out with pack horses and, like Captain Becknell's party, were often compelled to kill horses and dogs to keep from dying of thirst.

Frequently their fate was that of Rocky Mountain Smith, killed by the Indians as he stooped to scoop out a drinking hole in the sand.

Men who brought down their pelts to the mountain rendezvous of Pierre's Hole, or went over the divide like Fraser and Thompson of the Northwest Fur Company, had to abandon both horses and canoes, scaling canyon walls where the current was too turbulent for a canoe and the precipice too sheer for a horse with the aid of their hunting knives stuck into the haft.

Where the difficulties were too great for a few men, The fur traders clubbed together under a mastermind like John Jacob Astor of the Pacific Company or Sir Alexander Mackenzie of the Nor'westers.

I love Gallo

... really quick, David Thompson even, right, just for the Nuggets alone.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So.

And I'm like, "Man, shut up."

David Thompson.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't wanna hear that, like, M- right now, right? But for them, that, that was the thing.

Coming up next, this is tough.

My number two pick for all-time great Nuggets is going to be the one and the only David Thompson.

David Thompson, y'all, was everything to Denver.

Everything.

David Thompson Skywalker is one of the only people that Michael Jordan said he idolized growing up.

David Thompson, when he was in Denver, averaged 24 points per game, four rebounds, three assists, and he was shooting 51% from two.

Like, I don't think people – if you were around, which I also wasn't, so this is like post-watching and also storytelling from like a lot of the OGs, you know, growing up and all that kind of stuff and everything that like was surrounding David Thompson.

Like, I don't think people realize this.
