“They send us along where the roads are, but mostly we go where they ain’t: We’d climb up the side of a sign-board an’ trust to the stick o’ the paint… An’ a drop into nothin’ beneath you as straight as a
beggar can spit.”
Don eventually went back to school graduated in 1946 from Texas A & M with a Bachelor of Science degree in agricultural engineering. Don says, I never aspired to be a leader I was glad to serve. A true patriot, in 1952, Don joined the U.S. Navy during the Korean conflict and served on a minesweeper. In 1956, Don left the service and worked for Texaco outside of Long Beach, CA. But, Don said, I always knew where my destiny was. so he came back to his roots in Gainesville, Texas to run the abstract business full time. He served 2 terms on the school board, 1 term on the college board, was president of the local United Way, and was on the board of the Chamber of Commerce. He is a Mason and an avid golfer.
