- What was your childhood nickname?
I didn’t really have one. I just went by Don or Donny or Donald. - Where did you go to high school?
Eudora High School - What was the worst experience you’ve had as a teacher?
I had poison ivy so bad one time that I had to wear shorts because pants would stick to my legs. My legs started oozing during school and dripped on the floor. - What’s the most trouble you got in as a teenager?
I got in a fight my junior year and had to go to the principal’s office, but I didn’t get in much trouble because I didn’t hit the guy back. - Describe your first date:
I was a junior in high school and went out with my friend who was a senior since I couldn’t drive yet. He went with his girlfriend, and I went with his younger sister. We went to a movie I think but that had to have been like 40 years ago.
