He quite school in the 9th grade and started working for Wickes Boiler Company. He was a welder most of his life. Remember Don's father was working at the age of 14 in a shingle mill. It was not likely that someone from this type of background would go to college. He could read and write and knew math so why continue with school when you could earn a living and make money. He was a smart man for only having a 9th grade education. He could read blueprints and build to specifications. He made playground equipment for his children, a swing set, monkey bars, and a merry-go-round which he welded in his free time.
He enjoyed fishing.
