Dear Mrs Searle, I will never forget the kindness and good humor of Don when I was a young engineer at Mobil Research and he was my lab tech back in 1980-1984. You may remember me but I am sure Don touched many lives, and was such an inspiration. I still after more than 40 years say “it’s cold as a witches tit” thanks to Don. With kind regards and wonderful memories of a great guy. Suzan Faist Jagger.
