He entered Kansas State University in 1950 and went on to get degrees in Agricultural Economics and Business. He studied under the ROTC program and after graduating from KSU in 1954. He entered the army as a 2nd Lieutenant. Don began his service with the Army and served in Korea immediately after the armistice ceasefire was signed. Donald was married to Diane.

Don was a man of great vision who help develop —Glacier View, Green Mountain Meadows, Crystal Lakes, Beaver Meadows, and Hewlett Gulch, among others–with lakes and greenbelts that a great many of us enjoy seeing, hiking, or riding every day.   He probably knew these mountains as well as anybody, and gave a wonderful tour several years ago for the Red Feather Historical Society.
