Comments:
Mr. Donohoe I have really enjoyed your web page, it is like a book for me, each time Pam tells me she has went and added more of your life story to the page, I hurry to go read the next chapter. By reading your life story, it has inspired me to maybe try and do a story on my Family. We are Creek/Choctaw Indians, but I am regiistered Creek because that is what my Father is, my Mother was Choctaw. Keep up the story......so I can learn the outcome. Love to you....A FRIEND IN ALABAMA.....KATHY COBB

Don: Extremely interesting reading. I have heard you talk somewhat about your Navy days, but I had no idea about your childhood, your searching for Emelia Earhart (sp?) and being stationed aboard the Tennessee just prior to it being bombed at Pearl. You need to continue this writing, especially the details of your courtship of and marriage to "our sweetheart" Felicia. I've told Vicki bits and pieces about this and she wants to read it as soon as we install the new motherboard with the faster processor (curre t one - 486DX 33 -running at max. 66). That will be sometime this week. Love to you both, Chris

Outstanding !!!!! Clearly depicts one's spirit in taking what this life has to offer and giving it his best shot!! Really a hard life for a young one to start off with and the same aspect that somehow your were different from your siblings, and treated as such, was the same driving factor that molded you in to what you eventually became speaks volumes in itself. You have the words down in a most succinct manner, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind. Congratulations, ole chief!!!
