Dave Navarre is an amateur military historian currently gathering material for a book on COL Edson Raff, an American airborne officer in World War II. He designs databases in Lotus Notes in order to afford his military history habit and indulge in good scotch and fine wines.
“Habap” is the Russian spelling of Navarre and, though Navarre is a Basque name, “habap” is Russian for “the fat that gathers on top of soup”. He’s been using it on his license plate and online since 1990, when he was working on a Master’s degree in Russian and East European Studies at George Washington University.
He guest posted about meeting the brilliant vigneron Philippe Foreau of Vouvray on Emily in the Glass.

David thank you for your offer to allow us the use of anything on your site in our blog. I am hoping to fill the blog with interviews of Veterans, but am going to add you to our blogroll. I am so new to this blogging thing I really don’t have a clue what I am doing, but am very excited about this project. It means a lot to me. I am the wife of a Marine, my Father was an Army Ranger in Korea, My uncle served in Vietnam. My brother is in the Army and in Korea right now. My husbands natural father was as helicopter pilot who was killed in action in Vietnam. His step father is the man who brought his mother the news about her husbands death, they become friends and later married, he retired from the Army at the rank of Colonel.
