Becoming a Pioneer in 1976, Don has held many positions
including member-at-large and life member club president. Don has been an
active member of the Sharing and Caring Committee since its inception in
1988 when the Fort Pitt Chapter was instrumental in helping organize the
annual boat ride for hospitalized veterans. The chapter has been
underwriting the cost of sending young people to Conservation Camp on an
annual basis for the past 20 years. Don was one of the original members of
the committee that established this practice. As the chapter's life member
club president, he participated in many membership drives. Don was also
active in helping raise funds to erect a Korean War Veterans Memorial
monument on the Pittsburgh waterfront. Don has served as Membership chair
and Fundraising chair in the Stephen Foster Council. Don serves on
committees for playground maps, Easter egg hunts, highway clean ups, Earth
Day, veterans' hospital bingo, and Christmas in April. Don has been
co-chair for the past eight years of the committee which mails the "Tele
All" newsletter to all active and retired chapter members. Don and
Romaine, his Pioneer partner of 48 years, search for needed supplies for
local animal shelters in their "spare time."
