Press Clippings

The volume of clippings from newspapers & magazines that have featured Angel of Strength Dave Gauder is enormous. Some of the best ones are in a briefcase that at the present moment has to be retrieved & sorted out. Those included here are a random selection of some that were saved & filed away. 

This whole section is really to demonstrate the breadth of experience & popularity of Dave's anti bullying campaign has had over a number of years. 

Where the source is known, it has been given & is included here on this site under the principle of fair use. A lot of the clippings were kindly sent by people along with thank you letters some time after the articles appeared. These were sometimes photocopies, or parts of an article cut out of the newpaper. Consequently, some of the articles do not have any publication or date reference. If any journalists or photographers recognise their work & would like acknowledgement where there is no reference, please contact bigdavecic (at) angelofstrength.info so the appropriate credit can be given..
