Hi, Shelly, from Joe B in NOLA Thanks for sending this link. Don was very kind and helpful to me when I started collecting and bought from him on Ebay. He was a very nice man and I am delighted to know more about him. What an extraordinary guy! Joe

I was notified during the week that he went suddenly last weekend. Must have been sudden, as I'd been in email contact with him a few days earlier. Met him first when I was quite a novice collector at the various UK shows, and he was always very helpful and friendly with reasonably priced, sometimes quite exotic, material. He was primarily a fan of film - he has written a few books and, if I remember correctly from early conversations, he started as a journalist writing articles. I suppose one of the disadvantages of the internet is that I stopped bumping into him casually at fairs and auctions, and lost touch to a large degree except for perfunctory emails. Shame to lose such a decent chap.

Anyone who dealt with Don at the Ed Mason shows or though his Ebay sales (Moviedrome) knows that he was a gentleman with a good eye for a rare poster. He will be missed.
