We apologize for how long the news has taken to release to the community. Don is a US Veteran having served with the US Air Force until 1968 as a flight simulator specialist. Amazingly smart, and quickly able to think about things from an angle you weren’t expecting, he always held your interest and provided real help when needed. A little gruff, and “old-guy-ish” at times (Don was still using a flip-phone which he took a considerable amount of ribbing over), anyone would enjoy getting to know the real Don: an honest-to-goodness rocket scientist. He did an immeasurable amount of work for us all, sorting out quite a bit of technical detail. What is less known is how much work he put in behind the scenes on technical issues. On the forums, Don’s regular posts, sharp no-nonsense style, and fun gags were readily seen. The man behind the GA_Boater handle is Don Wilson and like so many of our friends who have sailed on ahead, Don is an irreplaceable member of our community. We are saddened to announce that we have recently learned one of our iboats forum Moderators, and more so our friend, GA_Boater passed away the first week of March, 2022 of natural causes.
