The last time I saw Don was last June at a Mayberry Reunion in Nashville.

The funny thing was that the dress didn't require any alterations. Don and I both wore a size 6.

Not at all. Don wasn't anything like Barney. He was a very quiet man, and polite. He was the type of person who encouraged everyone - he was just a darling man.

Don was a comic actor. He wasn't a wisecracking, loud sort of person always telling jokes - nor is Andy.

Don was a pretty good singer - he came from West Virginia where they sang a lot of country folk music.
