I am deeply saddened by the news of Mr. Donald's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you-the family! I am very sorry that I never told him how he influenced my life. I was an exchange student from Austria (Michaela Fabrick) at Vernon Highschool in 1987. I was very homesick and only Mr. Donald's acting classes and the play the Crucible- where I got the part of Abigail- kept me going. I had acted as a child in movies in Austria before but this was my first theater performance. I loved it and I became a professional actress in Austria for many years- I always kept the little blue booklet that Mr. Donald had given us and always cherished the basics of acting that he had taught me. He really made a difference in my life. my deepest sympathies
