We first met in Pelican , Alaska. He was amazing. . He had the strength of two men and an ability to endure hard work , and the good sense to pick friends who were loyal. IN those days of the late seventies and '80's , Rose's Bar was without consistent, lawful support. No police or sheriff existed in town and Don would literally risk his neck to quell sometimes lawless patrons.
He would defend his own friends with all he had. His wry sense of humor often summed up unsavory situations in words that left me grinning.
Rest in peace, Don. You were a spectacular friend who will be deeply missed.
