I had the privilege of knowing Don and working alongside him on various occasions throughout much of my career. For many years, we collaborated with a group of Arkansas legislators, educators, and civic leaders appointed by the governor to support innovative practices in K-12 schools. Don was an exceptional individual—intelligent, articulate, friendly, and always, in my view, on the right side of things. After reading his obituary, I realized that I had only glimpsed a small fraction of his remarkable life. My heartfelt condolences to his family. We can find comfort in the legacy Don has left behind, an exemplary model for us all.
