Condolences and empathy are extended to Carol and all of Don's family. It was my good fortunate to know Don professionally for many years. I have experienced the thrill of flying with him and the pleasure of being in your home in D.C. on several occasions. We always had fun and a good time. To the family I hope all those great memories you have of him will stand you in good stead in the lonely times that are sure to come. He left a rich heritage of which you can be proud. May he rest in peace.
