I have waited way too long to do this.  Don was my best friend at GHS.  We enlisted in the US Navy together and went to Boot Camp together.  After Boot Camp, he went to Nuclear Power School and I went to Vietnam for my first of three tours.  We kept in touch on and off over the years but I always have considered him to be my best friend.  He actually kept me out of trouble on a number of occasions at GHS.  I will never forget him.
