- Event: Hobbies repairing all kinds of things, such as tvs, radios, bicycles, and toys - made him happy to give them to folks who needed them
Although Don - like all of Bill and Mary's children - drifted apart from his family, he did enjoy returning to his roots. As a youngster, the family spent a great deal of time in Waubaushene. When hebecame a father himself, he tried to pass along alittle taste of what he had experienced. When his son Peter was about 10- or 11-years old, Don invited him and a friend to go to Waubaushene. Peter was very excited for his father to show where he had spent summers and to meet some relatives. The three of them drove up in Don's trusty 1974 Gremlin. All of them slept inthe car next to the water. Although Peter cannot remember who they visited, he does recall have fun fishing and driving around.
