I finally convinced Don that I REALLY did want his story. He is such a dear sweet and very uneffacing gentleman. When I ran into him again at the 101st luncheon, he actually came up to me and asked, "Did you really mean it when you said you wanted my story?" Of course I said, really. Then he smiled and said that he didn't want me to think that he was being vain. Oh my God, no. How could I think that? I'm the one who wanted his WWII history. See how great these guys are? Asking me if they are being vain.
