I really enjoyed his posts years ago. Quite a Cub enthusiast. It is sad people disappear from here and most of us never learn what happened to them. I do hope someone knows the story on Don.

Don R disappeared when the registry disappeared. He built some very nice tractors.

I vaguely remember seeing a post when his stuff was being sold. I think he had to go to a nursing home. Not sure of this as my memory is not what it was.

Charlie, I think you are remembering correctly. I believe they held an auction to sell his Cub stuff. As far as the nursing home, I'm not sure, but I think I remember him not getting around quite so well anymore.

I agree he was having Issues getting around and auctioned off this toys to go to a nursing home. I tried googling his name for a obituary and couldn't find one, so I'm guessing he's at a home someplace playing checkers! To bad we couldn't get someone to check in on him for us....

I agree. Don was/is quite the character.
