Don was my Mother Altha Mae Hensley Rice's half brother, they grew up in different households so they really did not know each other althought they met couple of times. Don was my Uncle whom I always likes very well. I moved to Flag Pond TN in 1973 so that was when I first met my Uncle and we were friends since that day. I always called him Uncle Don and I kind of think the was very proud to be my Uncle. Rest in peace Uncle Don I will be along directly. Edgar A Rice.
