What kind of information are you looking for??
The obituary is all the info we have on his passing. The National website doesn't have a whole lot of biographical info on Don or most of the other founders. There is a letter in the current Pledge Manual that Don wrote.
Sad to say, but we haven't had much contact with Don in recent years. I know he was living in retirement here in Florida, but his family seems to have kept us away from him. I know several of us in Florida would have liked to have organized a road trip to visit him, but his family wouldn't allow it. At the Easton Event in 2000, both Lafayette College and the Fraternity would have like to have him there, but again it didn't happen. I hope the reason he wasn't able to come and all was due to declining health. But its also sad that the Fraternity was not contacted by his family when he passed away. Some Brothers came across the obituary on-line a month or so later, and passed on the information.
I do hope one of the future issues of the Torch & Trefoil will have an article on Don (and the other founders).
