For those contemplating an invitation to Don, I can tell you that he
is the ideal guest. He brings his own home with him, so there never
develops the well-known correlation between house guests and garbage;
he was here for nearly a month-and-a-half and we never tired of him.
He feeds himself but graciously accepts anything you put in front of
him. He does not embarrass you with your friends; in fact, he makes
you look good, as having substantial social discernment. He is
articulate, being well-read in wide-ranging interests. He may in fact
disappear for days into books, reappearing with new and interesting
information. He has fine skills, especially in restoring aged
backhoes and trucks. An all-around good guy. He is welcome here at
Heartwood any time.
