Xavier Onassiss Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I met Don almost 30 years ago, back when we were both in college. I had the pleasure of gaming with him (we both enjoyed Traveller) when he came over from DePauw on weekends to visit his girlfriend (and future wife), Susan. We all enjoyed spending time with him, and on one occasion I volunteered to drive to Greencastle to pick him up when he didn't have a ride so he wouldn't miss out on his weekend visit. Don was like that; if you knew him, you'd be glad to help him out. His contributions to the gaming community in Champaign are immeasurable -- I don't know how many years he's been in charge of the Winter War convention, but it has thrived under his stewardship, and all of its regular (and not so regular) attendees, including myself, will miss him a great deal.

rich442 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 He will be genuinely missed. I really appreciated his errata documents. He also has an "Integrated Traveller Timeline" that he was offering on the PDF download sites. Always excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
