Don was a sweet guy and a gentleman. When I think of Don, I think of the time I was sitting at a red light on Lee Street beside the Post Office - we had graduated several years before. Don was crossing the street with his new bride. They were dressed up; Don had on a suit, and he was "escorting" his wife across the street with his hand on her back and walking so proudly. It was so sweet to see that. And that is the memory I have of Don Duck.
