I just learned of Don's passing. I was one of his classmates in the 1975 Frederick City Police Academy. Don was a class guy who always had your back. I always liked him and don't know anyone who didn't. We sure need more like him, especially in our messed up world. I will hoist a glass in his honor. Happy trails my old friend !
