Don is a colorful storyteller with a sense of humor. His tour was intimate – like a (very knowledgeable) friend who takes you around their town and points out the cool bits, much of which you wouldn’t get from guide books and plaques. He integrates history, architecture, art, and contemporary life of Frederick. Don was super accommodating: I had a narrow window for the tour, and he made it happen with little advance notice (plus a generous, spontaneous tour by phone of Shepherdstown Battlefield from where I called him to set up the Frederick tour!).
