More detail on this person: Don was killed in a
fixed wing aircraft in Dale Hollow, Tennessee on
June 23, 1972. He was a commercial pilot working
for a physician's group (flew fixed wing and
helicopter for them) and we lived in Nashville,
Tennessee. He had one son, Scott, who had just
celebrated his first birthday. I have never
remarried. After all the stress and anxiety of
Nam, this was a terrible tragedy. This information was last updated 05/18/2016
