I don't know what happened to Don. We went to separate universities. I do know that both of his parents were seriously ill back in 1964. He was one of my best friends.
Don was an unique individual. He would read science fiction books in chemistry class and when disturbed in his reading by the the teacher would always give the correct answer to the teacher's question much to he chagrin of the instructor. Not necessarily a studious fellow, he was nevertheless one of two National merit scholarship finalist at Highline. Miss him.
I remember Don Weeks from 5th or 6th grade at Gregory Heights Elementary. He and a friend would be sitting at the side or back of the room doing complicated math or physics equations. I think they even had their own blackboard over there. I don't remember him from Highline really.
But my Mother had saved my copy of the Pirate's Log Yearbook and when she needed to go into assisted living a couple years ago I went through her stored things and found it. I was amazed to find a note from Frances Weeks, '66, who I am afraid I don't remember either from Highline, mentioning us being in Home Ec together and adding that 'you're the only girl my brother ever complimented even behind her back'...
I can only say I wish I had known Don well enough to get some help with Math which I never did understand, Even though both of my parents were Math majors.

Don is another Pirate lost too soon.
RIP Don
