Al,
Thanks for the information, Don was one of the pilots that I met when I was
learning to fly, at that time he was a 580 Captain and flew fairly regularly into Jackson. 
There were many I used to go and talk to while they were on the ground, Don was one of the ones who always stood out.

I got to know Don Carmen very well as we lived close together in Aurora and I did remember that he had gone west.  
It is in the FARPA magazine along with quite a few other pilots, we are thinning the ranks, so to speak.
