I was a schoolmate of Don in the high school at Drumheller. His family were well known and well liked. I was sorry to find that Don had lived here in edmonton for many years, and that our paths as former Drumhellerites never passed. My sympathy to all of the family at this time. My father, Dee Folk, was a teacher in Drumheller during the time that we were classmates in that city.
