Don - Rest in peace my brother. We were friends through high school and when we joined the Air Force together in 1955. Although we lost touch in later years, I always counted you as one of my best, long-time friends. May peace be with Marrietta, the kids and grandkids. God took you much too early, but he has great plans for you. My best to all the family and friends of a great friend and patriot.
