Donald and his family lived near Almon, GA. He and his brother were frequent visitors to our backyard garage, as well as most of the other neighborhood young men. It was a gathering place to talk and work on cars. We sold his brother our Norton motorcycle. Donald came by to see us, in his uniform, after basic training; tragically he was KIA about five weeks after he was deployed to Vietnam.
