‘Day of Dave’ in Northampton: Academy of Music filled for remembrance of Dave Rothstein, lawyer and artist

Friends from all over the country, skipping previous plans and ignoring the below-zero cold outside, flocked to Northampton Saturday morning in order to tell stories of doughnuts and pumpkins and sculptures, fashioned of ice and hay.

They assembled to celebrate Dave Rothstein, an environmental lawyer and artist whose embrace of improbable schemes, heirloom New England mint and driveway snow art made him friends of such reach and variety that they filled the bottom level of Northampton’s Academy of Music. . .
