I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Don. He was a great guy. I did not know him very well in high school but he was well liked by his fellow classmaes.
I went to Don's funeral service and read Arthur Boyd's "One More Thing" tribute to Don from our 50th reunion booklet to the gathering. If you haven't read that, it's a perfect statement about Don's life. Rest well, my old friend. Leon
