*Minnetonka Alumni Magazine* wrote a profile on Don; here’s an excerpt:

> “Threads of his success trace back to MHS, especially his term as senior class president and the public speaking it required. Realizing his comfort with public speaking opened doors and established a foundation of skills that have served him well. For this, Don thanks his speech teacher John Raymond who taught him to be disciplined and organized. Saying he was coordinated but undersized, Don’s heart for athletics was never repressed. He enthusiastically participated in high school and later has represented numerous athletes and coached youth soccer teams for nearly 20 years.”
