After attending Immanuel Lutheran School, Don completed his education at Kramer High School, where he was active in football, track and baseball. He was president of Future Farmers of America and active in 4-H, winning the Grand Champion Award for Beef Showmanship at the Nebraska State Fair. After graduation, Don began his banking career at Continental National Bank in Lincoln, where he met Annette Chase of Broken Bow. The couple married Dec. 15, 1957, and lived in Lincoln until moving to Greeley, Colorado in 1961.
