A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

He truly will be missed! A close friend since 1974, I met Don on the CB radio "Little Shorty" was his CB handle. He loved flying, on countless occasions, we would go out to the Radio Control Field where he would fly his RC plane which he got from his dad. A group of us from Munster became good friends - all very close - he was a great travel partner and roommate. The news of his untimely death was a tragic shock to all of us. Donny.. Donny.. Donny.. We will never forget the joy you brought into our lives.
