Don & Janet were very good friends during the 70´s when I was married to Jack Hunt. My heart goes out to Don a very fine friend and foot doctor. I loved you both and all our fun days together. Sincerely, Patty Warren

Doc and Janet Yoder were good friends of my father Ray Pahls, who was also a pilot. They shared a passion of seeing a view of the Kansas plains from above. Doc visited my father many times when he was in hospice care. My dad had a short illness that affected his brain, and Doc Yoder visited him frequently even though we weren’t sure how aware Dad was of things since he had trouble putting words together. I appreciate it so much that Don was a great friend to my father even during his illness when they couldn’t visit and discuss airplanes and their love of flying as they usually did. RIP Doc Yoder. I’m sure you, Janet and Dad are up above in heaven now.

Your dreams and aspirations were a delight to watch. Your July 4th fly-in's as we used the Prairie Sunset Trail were very picturesque. Thank you for working with us in building the tunnel for the Prairie Sunset Trail in conjunction with your runway as well as lending us your roller as we developed the trail! The world is a better place because of your grace and presence. Ruth Holliday with Prairie Travelers
