I was lucky enough to have Don as my admissions interviewer. He only asked me one question: “tell me about yourself”. He smiled; he was genuinely interested. There are so many other Don moments like this one that I can look back to and see how much his kind intelligence inspired me to be the best version of myself I can be.
OK, second memory: he loved cars, as do I. We often chatted about horsepower per liter and things of that sort and deduced we had owned different cars with identical drivetrains, his made by Ford, mine by Mazda. One day he finally bought himself a gorgeous all-wheel drive BMW sedan, my favorite! The day he got it, he and I snuck out of a recruiting dinner to take it for a spin down snowy Storrow drive. Six speed manual of course. Don, you’re the man 🙂
