About Don
I’ve been a So. California resident all my life. I’ve lived in the city of Beaumont since 1977.
In my “former life”, I was fortunate to have served for 30 years as a peace officer for the State of California (probably accounts for my odd sense of humor). I retired from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in July 2002.
