Donald's Story
Life
After getting out of WTHS in '66 I went to work at Pontiac Motor Div. and was shortly drafted into the Army where I served 19 months including 12 in 'Nam. Back to Pontiac Motors and business school. I then ran a nursing home for 4 years, a restaurant for 3 years and try my crack at my own businesses before moving to Dallas. I worked mostly in Kmart management there and after 8 years I moved to my dream location in Daytona Beach. After a short stint of running group homes for mentally retarded/mentally ill children I moved on to work with Tanning Research Lab., Inc. the makers of Hawaiian Tropic suncare products. I did a variety of positions there including Supervisor of Display Assembly, Inventory Control, Cost Analysis and finishing as an analyst for the Canadian Marketing Division. When TRL was purchased by Energizer the Canada Div. was eliminated so I left there and in the "autumn of my life" I started with Inventory Control with J&P Cycles a large supplier of after-market motorcycle part and accessories. I have been married three times....and I might add all three times successfully. I have three children, two girls and a boy, and six grandchildren. My main passion is riding a motorcycle and photogra...Expand for more
phy....most happy when I am doing both at the same time. I have made several cross country trips. Generally my wife, Lisa, will fly and meet me as she doesn't really want to ride across the country on a bike. I spend lots of time looking for old friends and family members. I concentrate mostly on those I went to school with or served along side with in the Army. If you know me or think that you know me drop me a line.
