It was my pleasure to work with Don when he was Vice President, Claim Management Division, Insurance Company of North America in Philadelphia, later known as CIGNA. His honesty, integrity, and knowledge of the law set a fine example for everyone in the Bond Claim Department. His fine sense of humor, and knowledge of baseball made for an excellent work environment.
