Betty, you probably have no memory of me, but i wish to convey condolences to you for your separation from Don. I have known Don since early childhood. We all attended Litz Manor baptist during those the Sims pastorage. You may recall some of the names: Clyde Harr (who always would introduce Don's name during telephonic conversations), Bill Morgan (his dad taught one of our sundayschool classes), Bill Cheves, Burl McCosh, Robbie Hackler, David Gillenwater, Patricia Stringer, Rosemary Sanders, &c. I had meant to try to see Don when i learnt from Don Starette that he was not robust. There did not seem to be an appropriate time to materialise after an absence of the better part of a lifetime. Don maintaind a role of integrity, honesty, & strong competitivity. He helpt Dobyns-Bennett along to its position as the winningest highschool baseball team. I could never whip him fingerwrestling, but he couldn't best me either. I am confident you two shared a felicitous & prosperous life together, & for that fortuity, i am sure you are grateful.. Take care, Larry V. Mills
