Don died in 1992 in Ala.
Before that he lived on Rodeo Rd in Pebble Beach Ca.
Great Guy !:checkered:
According to this thread (and photograph), he was living and working in Salinas, California, and visited the Monterey Historics in August 2010: http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44311Quote:

I would suggest those putting out this disinformation cease. I can not fathom a reason.
Maybe a different DN - or I was thinking he went back to being a secret agent and faked his death in order to infiltrate the iranian nuclear program......
What a life he's had so far... Somebody needs to sit him down and do an autobiography....

If you ask me - it just ads to the intrigue....
I'd cast Beau Bridges to play Don
...
I worked for Shadow, 1973, and I apologize if I supplied the wrong info. One of my former team members had told me he had passed. I am sorry.
