Life
While at Burlington High School Don played as a half-back on both the Junior and Senior Football teams and was a member of the 1948 Championship senior team. However, he was more active in track and field, particularly the 100 and 220 yard sprints, and won many races at both distances and set a record of 10.0 seconds in the 100 yd. sprint race.
He later attended McMaster University where he won the 100 and 220 yard races in all four years. Don established a new record of 9.9 seconds in the 100 yd. sprint during the Senior Intercollegiate Championship in 1951. He also competed as a member of the Hamilton Olympic Club and won several junior and senior Canadian Championships.
