"Commadore Don"
My family and I have been going to The Northshore for 42 straight years and just returned from another wonderful Tahoe vacation. Every year we're at the Lake I remember fondly my friend Don who was always there with a ready smile and the offer to "come have a drink on his deck". I and others were always ready to participate and all the while Don made all of us feel welcome and like he was your best friend. Don was also in charge off the buoy field an important job at The Northshore since it was always a "loaves and fishes routine" with high demand and limited supply. Don always took care of his friends me included and a close in buoy was better and safer as we all began to age. Like a lot of us Don kept his woody at Sierra Boat and Dick Clarke and Pat Began were very fund of him as well. This year George Hill, Mike Ross, Jack Schumacher me and others remembered Don and all the good times we had. We all agree that Don in his 80+ years lived a full and robust life. I am glad to have been a part of it and we all miss our friend........!!!!!
