Praying for you my friend and Rohr Auburn Washington coworker Don Whitey Lanphere Families and Friends. Don you were truly one of kind. And a pleasure to have known you and working with you. I will never forget our final working moments when you, Ernie Bailey and I were the last three Rohr Auburn employees remaining to turn off the lights as we loaded up the final 757 Tooling going to its new home in Foley Alabama.

Love ya man
