Waaay back in 1965...My friend and family doctor from Kent Wa. practice was filled with so many of my modeling friends in those days.
He was truly a friend of our family for many years until his passing. (He even made house calls a few times during those days..to check on my latest stunt model building project or to glean a few bottles and cans of my Pactra-Perk gift packages of free test batches of the latest Aero-Gloss formulas.
I too enjoyed his extensive Library of Aircraft Books that ran the full length of one wall. I never stopped in for a "Doctors office call or check up"...without bringing him one of my own collection of airplane books for him to take home.
We traded back n' forth... model plane books, magazines right up until the last couple of months before he crossed UP and OVER to where the angels fly..between the earth n' sky!
DOC!
Truly made this life a better place and made such a difference to soooo many human beings.
When I saw these two slides today...WOW! What memories these  brought back.
Attached is his then....very small son who just like his Daddy...loved EVERYTHING THAT HATH WINGS!

Doc Dona was my physician for awhile. I remember calling him on a Saturday, after wrapping my foot around the footpeg on my Yamadinger while chasing a free flight. Drat those rocks hiding in the prairie grass! Doc met me at his office in Kent and wrapped up the ruined foot. Didn't know that Doc ever built such a nice Veco Hurricane, however. Steve Dona is deeply involved in the SAM 8 group.  Steve

Some of the NW Skyraiders are also involved with SAM 8, so you can contact Steve Dona through them. Try Homer Smith, Dave Gardner, Bob Einhaus, etc.  Steve
