Dear Pinkston Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Don and I were pledge brothers in the spring of 1969, and in 2012 I got to sit down around a campfire with him, Danny Hoya and Doug Peteet. It was as if it was only yesterday that we had seen each other. We laughed and reminisced about college, and we talked about our families, and had a great visit. God Bless you all.
