Friends of Don Higgs
I realized yesterday that many of Don's friends are not aware that he died last month. He was 80 years old. We've lost a good buddy and ardent Model A hobbyist.
Sadly, Don's wife, Patricia, died unexpectedly in late July. They had a long and loving marriage. Many of you know Don from his participating in hill climb events around the country as well as, much to my admiration, driving his Model A speedster from Jacksonville, FL, to Fairbanks ... Alaska ... and return ... at age 73 ... solo. He also drove the Great Race in his speedster. Don died of a massive heart attack while working in his shop, preparing to beat everyone's butt in the next hill climb. Don's friendship, humor and dedication to his hobby will be missed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/paulmo...tos/5081110862
