Back in 1966 I drove Don on my 170 Honda motorcycle from Naugatuck CT to Elmont, NY to the Belmont race track to bet Amberoid in the Belmont Stakes. It was about a 90 mile trip one way. Amberoid won and paid $16 and we both left with good money. The money did not offset the stiffness we suffered after the ride home. Don was a good guy and always up for doing anything. We had several good tomes together. Sorry to hear about his loss. Rest In Peace.
