David A. Hart

David Arnot Hart, a genuine, sweet soul, died Nov. 3, 2023, at the age of 71. He was born Feb. 9, 1952, in Oklahoma City, Okla., to John K. Hart Sr. and Wilda (Arnot) Hart. The family moved to Illinois in the 1950s and David spent most of his youth in Arlington Heights, Ill. Many summers and holidays were spent on his grandparents’ farm in Missouri, where he learned to appreciate the slower country life away from the big city. He and his older brother, John, loved to go “frog gigging” with their grandfather at the farm. We could have imagined he’d later train to be a professional chef after all the frog legs he captured in his younger years.

Class cooks up appreciation for area’s natural resources


Wild Foods Wednesdays in MFL MarMac’s natural resource science class are stirring appreciation for plants and animals that can be harvested locally. Here, students wrap dove jalapeno poppers. (Submitted photos)

Pheasant egg rolls have been a class favorite. This image shows the inside mixture.

Here, the pheasant egg rolls have been fried to perfection.

Dandelion rhubarb cookies are another example of what the natural resource science class has eaten. “We’re really blessed where we live that we have a lot of diversity, a lot of different hunting seasons, different foraging opportunities. I think it’s important to expose different kids to that because it might be something completely new to them,” said Casey Evanson.

Puffball mushroom was one food students enjoyed this fall. “I do a lot of hunting and fishing, so I’ve tried most stuff. I’ve had morels, but I’ve never had the puffball before. That was cool,” said student Brock Hackett. “Now, if I find some, I’ll probably bring them home."
