Dear Glenda,
Sincere condolences. Though the years and the miles have separated me from many colleagues at KU, I have fond memories of Don, and Ev Swartz and others in the School of Education. Don was the embodiment of a gentlemen as well as a scholar. Many good wishes and prayers for comfort and consolation.

Dear Glenda,
We are shocked and saddened. So many wonderful memories of our times together. You were the first to invite us to dinner when Benji and I were married, you lived on Arizona St. Don and I had offices opposite each other in Bailey Hall. We send our love. Flora and Benji
