There is nothing in life that demands teamwork more than FAMILY.  Growing up in a family of 12, I learned the importance of teamwork early on.  In Vietnam our 12-man A-team lived, worked and served like a family.  I am proud of my family, beginning with my lovely wife Norma who is my own personal hero.  We have been a team since the day we were married.  It has been our privilege to raise wonderful children, and now, to welcome grand children into our lives.  I am happy to be able to introduce you here to the most important team I can ever be a part of, the Donlon Team.
