That is sad news to hear about Don's passing. I have memories of playing "mud-ball" football with Curt Traugott, Don and others.  Curt and I were usually more on the "avoidance" side (if anyone knows that football position).   Don was pretty tough.  I hope that he found peace and fulfillment in his life after HS.
