He was presented with this award because of his dedication to preserving the history of the 401st Bomb Group and working hard to collect and store any and all
data he can get his hands on so as to have thorough records of our group history! He is always ready to assist when our members need answers and has done a wonderful job as our Historian!
Congrats Don!

If only you had not lost your voice prior to receiving your award...we will never know what you would have said! 😉
All I could hear from where I was sitting was your voice cracking and squeaking! 😂

When the request for nominations was presented, you were the first name to pop into my head...
You do SO MUCH for the association, and your knowledge and willingness to help others is second to none! (Apologies, Paul...)
I was very pleased to see you gain this award, and was honored to present it to you.
GOOD JOB! (Now, get back to work 😃 )
