Don and Betty enjoyed exploring the U.S. and Canada.  They lived their dream of traveling as full-time RVers for many years visiting every state and most of the Canadian Provinces.  His favorite expression was “I’ve been everywhere.”  He also enjoyed visiting the casinos and doing crossword puzzles. In addition, he was an excellent pool player that was known to run the table.  Don was a lifetime member of the Andover, Ohio American Legion Post 226 plus a lifetime member of the Meadville Eagles Number 429.
