Don was an avid book collector, especially books by and about H. L. Mencken. Many years ago he asked me to evaluate his Mencken collection to possibly sell it. I arrived at his Chevy Chase home and stayed for hours while he talked about his career and his interest in Mencken. I left with a signed copy of his biography on Rayburn, an agreement to sell his collection, and the start of a friendship that lasted until his death. My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to his family.
