Colorizing An American Hero


Please Note: The colorizing of the black and white images are done best of my recolection of Don. The last time I saw Donnie was close to 60 years ago but my memory still recalls much of him relating to his build, persona, hair and eyes. With that these images were created with the guidance of other friends who assisted in the best rendition. Some of his imagtes are set on different backgrounds so it is important to tell you those are created in my mind and never existed in real life. Note: Once the larger image displays right mouse click then use SAVE AS on PC or the options in your smartphone browser window (3 vert dots in Android) select save image.
