An email from Donald’s daughter, Helen Arrowood, informed me that Donald passed away on November 15, 2022.

Donald was the son of Raemon and Ruth Samuels. He was born 11 February 1938, probably in Trona. It is more than likely that he was enrolled in the Trona schools from kindergarten through high school graduation. His father was an electrical engineer for AP & CC and they lived on Wildrose Street. Donald had an older brother, Neil, class of 1945 and a sister Virginia, class of 1951.

According to the 1955 yearbook Donald was in the band for four years, the varsity club for three years, was a member of the track team for two years and a member of the basketball team for two years.

When an official obituary is available, I will post a link to it.

My condolences to Donald’s family.
