Donald grew up on a farm outside Waterford and attended Waterford Elementary.  After graduation from Loudoun County High School in 1963, he completed courses at The Auto Diesel Institute in Nashville so that he might help keep the farm equipment running smoothly.  He spent his life farming and loved the land.  After retiring, he spent time working on projects around his house, tending to his home garden, listening to lots of preachers on the radio, and reading the Bible.
