“Don and I have been colleagues since 1995. He is, quite simply, one of the finest thinkers and culture-watchers I know. Over the years, I have relied on Don's work to articulate both the historic paradigm and the future directions for communities. It has been an extraordinary pleasure to "grow up" professionally with him, to learn with and from him. We have worked on a variety of writing projects together, from trainings and conferences to reports and citizen communications. I greatly value his insights, his abilities, his sharp mind, and (not least) his warmth and openness in all situations.”
