Donald Wayne Powers

LHS & WCU both. Don was a freshman. I was a senior. Story happened at WCU his freshman year. He Came to me near end of his first quarter very worried about his low grades. I laughed at him and assured him not to worry. I pointed out most teachers graded on the bell curve. He made almost, if not all A grades that quarter! The rest is history! I never saw him again after my graduation, but followed his career thru the years and was proud to have known him for a short time. I taught...

I was fortunate to have been a teammate and roommate of Don's. Don was a man of integrity who loved his family. He was a loyal friend. When Don committed to a task, he completed it. He was a winner in all aspects of life.

Well done thy good and faithful servant. I remember a conversation we had at a Catamount Club auction one year. I had but one question for him and it was this. How on earth do you defend the triple-option? He responded with a classic answer by saying you put 10 in-the-box and do the best you can. What a great answer.
