We had not heard from him since, and learned of his death March 10, 2018.
Don worked in sales at finance and insurance companies briefly, then as a buyer for several companies. In 1972, he became director of purchasing and administrative services for Alaska Airlines. From 1979 until 1990 he was contract administrator for Boeing. He turned back to his interest in card playing, and at the time of our 50th, he had been a blackjack dealer for a while at the Muckleshoot Indian Casino.
To his wife, Arlene, and to his three daughters, Phoebe, Gerry, and Jessica, we send regrets over the death of our lively brother with thanks for his repeated military service to our nation.
