Don, It was with sadness that I read of the death of your father. I recognized your father's name in the obituary placed in the Deseret News on Thursday. I am the "luna" that worked with you in Hawaii in the summer of 1975. I live in Holladay, UT and work for the LDS Church. When possible, I would appreciate hearing from you about where you live and what has gone on during the past 35 years. I have wondered if you continued with architecture and about your family. My father, born in 1930, died five months ago. I know the pain and separation that death can cause. Best to you Don and your family. Lynn Payne This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
