My old next door neighbor. Gosh. I wish you were still here. We had such fun growing up on MacArthur St. You, me, James and Raymond would mow the old field behind our house to make our own baseball diamond each spring. We did that for years until finally, the city got smart, leased the field and put a park there with a "real" baseball field and a basketball court too. It took us kids to "wake'em up" that kids are going to play baseball whether they have a field or not. Donnie. Boy, would I love to be able to play "burn-out" with you right now? What fun we had....
Donnie was my roommate at DSU for several years and a fellow Pike brother. We were inseparable while at DSU. I don't know who got whom in more trouble, me getting Dunlap into trouble or the other way around, but we were in it together. I remember our junior year at college. When we showed up at the dormitories that year, room assignments for the dorm had already been made and somehow I wound up with a fellow Pike roommate (who will go unnamed) from Clarksdale. Donnie kept asking my Clarksdale roommate to swap rooms with him so Dunlap and I could room together. My Clarksdale roommate kept refusing. Well, if you knew Donnie, you knew how determined he could be. The first time my Clarksdale roommate went home for a weekend visit, Donnie moved all of my roommates clothes, bags, books etc to Donnie's room and all of Donnie's belongings to my room. Case closed. He and I had planned to go to Ole Miss pharmacy school together. I think of him often and usually try to see his brother, James, whenever I am down that way.
