I am a Classmate of Don's. We had our 70th Class reunion in Dayton. There were only about 15 of us in attendance. We talked about Don & what a fun- loving Guy he was. Since then, we have lost several more. You may remember Rosella Rado & Connie Lambert & maybe a few more. I now live in Texas; I still have 2 sisters there & I do keep in touch w/a few classmates. My Sincere Sympathy to All his Family, you are in my Prayers.
