I was sorry that Don decided to leave Springfield, MO, a number of years ago to move back to Kansas. I had gotten acquainted with him since he did accounting work for our law firm and also through some professional organizations in which we both belonged. My wife and I, as well as my mother, retained his services to prepare our annual tax returns. He was a wonderful person and so well respected by those who knew him.
