I was saddened to accidently find Don's obituary while surfing the internet. I worked with Don from 1963-1966 on the Redeye Missile. I was in the GD field test group. We played many rounds of golf at El Rivino and on the course on the NOTS facility, China Lake, Calif. Please accept my belated but sincere condelences.
