I suppose we must excuse Donald for missing our 49th Class Reunion on May l0, 2003. We knew he was sick, but not this close (9 days) away from the end of his life. I am so glad that I got to talk to him and laugh with him when I called about the reunion. My sympathy to the family, and I will forever remember the fun the Class of 1954 had and the part Donald played in contributing to this fun. Pat Alford
