Don was born in Cordell, Oklahoma in 1938 and graduated from the University of Tulsa. After graduation he spent the next six years as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force serving in Texas, Alaska, Greenland and Viet Nam. He joined Northwest Airlines in 1967 and retired after 31 1/2 years service as a commercial airline pilot.
He is a life member of the Colt Collectors Association and Past President, a member of the American Society of Arms Collectors, the Texas Gun Collectors Association, the Colorado Gun Collectors Association, the Collectors Arms Dealers Association and an Endowment member of the National Rifle Association.
"This book is a natural progression of Don's diligent Colt factory research of the post-1955 Single Action Army revolver. From Colt's intermingled production and shipping records, he was able to glean a wealth of information for all single action enthusiasts.
"This book is, and will no doubt continue to be, the definitive work which closes the last chapter of Colt's original single action production." -- Ron Graham, co-author A Study of the Colt Single Action Revolver along with John Kopec and C. Kenneth Moore
