Not sure what to say?

Beverly, I think of Don everyday as I have his photo on my credenza in my office. So hard to believe it's been 9 years since we lost him. My how time flies. Don set a high bar for all of us growing up, & he tried to mentor Trez & me as best he could. Fortunately we both turned out well, & he did have an influence on our lives. The ZN clan is thinning as we age. Lots of very fond memories of years gone by. I trust all is well with you Beverly. Please stay in touch Regards, Charlie Costar

So sorry to hear about Don's passing. I was fortunate to speak with him at length about his time in the Roadrunner Project and as the Regional Medical Officer in Djakarta which will be featured in my book about the medical aspects of those secret projects.

Don was an exemplary human being and doctor. He reached out and helped so many
people contending with health issues long after his retirement. His bravery
in facing his disease is inspirational.
Now he has his well deserved reward.
Joseph Spano, M.D.

Don,
You set a very high bar for all of us. You were so well respected and admired by all who knew and loved you. A lifetime of fond memories will be with me for the rest of my life.
Our thoughts and prayers are for you and Beverly at this difficult time
With love,
Charlie Costar

Dear Beverley - Don was a wonderful man who I loved and feel honoured to have known and call my friend. I always looked forward to our "banters and discussions" on my annual visits from England. He fought to the end and you have cared for him so very well and he is now at peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With love, Elaine.
