Mr. Wagstaff was born in Portland Sept. 25. 1924. He attended Woodmere Grade School, Franklin High School and graduated from Oregon State College ( now Oregon State University) in Corvallis, class of 1950.
During World War ll, David served in the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division (Ski Troops) 86th Regiment C Company- 5th Army, serving in the Po Valley and Apennines. In 1940, the War Department worked with the American Alpine Club and the National Ski Patrol to develop equipment and training for winter and mountain warfare. Out of this partnersip, the U.S. Army "Ski Troops" were activated, composed of ski buffs and outdoorsmen. Drafted at 18 1/2, David volunteered with a required three letters of recommendation and ski experience. He was accepted and went to Camp Hale, entering active duty July 22, 1943.
During tough high altitude training in the Colorado Rockies, the 10th also tested cold weather equipment designs. Clothing was white reversible to keep them camoflaged in the snow. They trained at Camp Hale, Colorado and Camp Swift, Texas, arriving in Italy on December 23, 1944. From there they went into the mountains near Florence to take Rive Ridge from the Germans. They went on to attack Mt. Belvedere and other Northeastern peaks. David returned to the U.S. Aug. 7, 1945. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, EAME Ribbon and two Bronze Service Stars.
As did other 10th men, David spent free time skiing and climbing around the Pacific Northwest once he returned home. He participated in a first ascent variation of Castle Crags route on Mt. Hood and formations of Smith Rock, and assisted mountain rescues with the Wyeast'ers and a budding climbing community. In 1948, 45 members of the Oregon State Mountain Club summited Three Fingered Jack, led by Dave Wagstaff and Ross Petrie. Records at the time indicate that it was the largest group ever to scale the peak, doubling the record set by the Mazamas. Many in that party became David's lifelong friends.
David was an active member of his Northwest Chapter of the 10th Mountain Division, maintaining lifelong friendships. Beginning in 1998, David began corresponding with one of his Gebirgsjager (German mountain infantry) opponents. This correspondence developed into a unique friendship, considering their first contact was only yards apart on the battlefield in the 1940's.

David went to work inspecting x-ray machines and eventually managed the radioactive materials program under Dr. Marshall Parrot. Over his long career, he was involved in state oversight of radiation sources at local corporations, hospitals, and universities. David's collegues remember an excellent writer, a quick learner, and a fine manager.
