I met Don the first time at DCS 2000. I had just bought my Delorean the year prior and it was in rough shape. We got to talking in the hotel lobby and he pulled out 2 uncut reproduction Delorean keys and gave them to me. I was so excited to toss the hardware store key I was using and finally get to use a 'real' Delorean key. I still use that key today.
Don was a great guy.
