I wish to express my heartfelt sympathies to the Donaldson family. I first met Mr. Donaldson when he came to my office at the Sacramento Superior Court to seek procedural information. He made several visits after that, each time with a new bit of information or an interesting puzzle or just a lively bit of conversation. I looked forward to each visit and learned a little something new each time. He was very, very special to me and to many others from the Court who got to know him during his years of service to the legal community.



Rest in peace, Mr. Donaldson.

With deep symppathy to the Donelson family from a friend who Ken helped when I was a young lawyer. He was a pal and a treasured colleague. Bill Sweigert
