With just a white chalk crayon and a six-state, new england outline painted onto a blackboard, Don did a heck of a better job presenting and explaining the weather than anything today's computer guys & gals will ever do.

You're right about that. In fact he didn't need the crayon, a radio's speaker would do. Not only that he really could forecast New England weather.

A sad day indeed. He was the best. He lived in Weymouth where I grew up - I remember walking by his house and seeing all the weather apparatus on his roof.

The talking heads we have today couldn't hold a candle to his abilities and dedication to the art of weather prediction.
