In his fourth decade of service to the NOTC, Don has served as board member, president, volunteer, chairman of numerous committees, race director and one of the best promoters the club has ever had. After joining the club in 1983, he elevated his participation as a volunteer in 1985 and then was elected to the board in 1986, serving the next fifteen years, including a term as President in 1991-1992. His committee initiated the "Road Runner of the Year Series," which later became the Grand Prix Series, and he created and directed the Metairie Runners' Beer-A-Thon in 1987. Don continues to volunteer at NOTC races and contributes his wisdom and passion for the club at board meetings and race committee meetings. He is always happy to shake hands and talk before and after NOTC races.
