SELENA:
My deepest sympathy to you. I was surprised when I read Don's obituary, shouldn't have lost contact for so long. Don was always considered a life long friend even though we were neighbors for only a few years. Pass my expression of sympathy along to Donald and the other family members.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Mr. Starbuck made a very large impact in my life. He took me flying ...and gave me the controls, when I was about 13, while serving as a Civil Air Patrol Cadet at Hampton Roads (PVG). I have forever remembered, and credit him for inspiring me.
God Bless
