I know Don when I was learning how to square Dance around 1991 and being a member of the Country Promenaders. I have been dancing in the club for a while. I have good fond memories of him being my square. He, always was smiling and giving big yellow rocks!!

When my parents learned to Dance they came to a dance. My, mom saw Don and asked me who he was. I told her that was Don Sauer. My mom goes, he was my Teacher at Grafton HS (around 1965) And she couldn´t bring herself to call him by his first name.

Don and Alice were huge advocates of square dancing in the Ozaukee and Sheboygan County area, and with Haveys, arranged for many sightseeing bus trips to national square dance events years ago. It was always a pleasure to dance with them! Our condolences to the family.

Helen and would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of our cousin Don. He was not only a credit to his profession, but also to his church and community. We also appreciate his service to his country. I may be wrong but I think he may have had one of the highest basketball game of his era.
