    Had a lot of laughs working with Don over my 4 1/2 years on the farm especially the last 3 months we were milking. We talked a lot about coon hunting because we both loved the sport. Don was always cracking jokes and always giving me crap while I was there. I miss Don a lot and remember those moments with him because he made work interesting and always fun. Rest In Peace Uncle Don and make sure you break all the heifers up , I don't want to hear they are green broke and now I have to finish them! We love and miss you, Vogel Center will never be the same.
