In 1997 he embarked on a new career in community outreach, co-founding the Essex County Community Foundation (ECCF) in Topsfield, MA. Working with diverse non-profit organizations in this history-rich region of New England awakened in him a keen interest in the roots and history of philanthropy in this region.After retiring from ECCF, he felt compelled to research the origins of philanthropy in New England. His research uncovered facts about the early attempted settlements here that appeared to be generally unknown. As he delved deeper and sought to bring the events to logical historical relevance, Isaac Stanfield emerged as the unifying persona, the observer and participant in the description of the years leading up to the landing of the Pilgrims.Boats, sailing and the oceans have been an indelible influence in David's life from an early age. Similarly, the histories of Europe and the United States have been passions he has studied, particularly as they intersect and unfold. After moving to the United States in 1980, he and his wife Helen spent 30 years sailing their 37' Pearson, Bandersnatch. They fell in love with the coast of Maine, its history, bays, islands, fog and abundant wildlife and explored energetically. Currently they live in Essex County, Massachusettsvisualizza meno
