Don was my teacher and basketball coach at Wales during the years 1955-1957.
Such a nice man and done a wonderful job coaching for the girls and boys. So easy mannered, never yelled at our mistakes always a pat on the back , good job etc.
He took us to many winnings. He had a great memory of those times and loved to talk about them.

WALES WILL SHINE BECAUSE OF YOU.

Thanks Charlotte for sharing Don during our Wales glory. Bud & I sending our deepest sympathy to you and family.
