Don E. Ackerman

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Dan Flaherty on June 13, 2010:

Like Pete, I learned to fly with Don, starting in Marana, Arizona and was at our flight school reunion there several years ago with Don and Jean. We were at HBS together for one year and had Thanksgiving dinner at Don's during a blizzard that made us late.

Don was a keen, determined, classy guy with a strong sense of responsibility. He felt a need to give back. He acted on that by leading a group of very successful HBS classmates in doing good works. Am sure he did more of that than I know about, and would hope that others who know more would remember him here.
