Donald Allen Manson, age 82, was born to Gerald Donald Manson and Mary Hazel Meritt in Hebron, Nebraska, March 9, 1941. He graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School, Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1959 and immediately enlisted in the Navy.  Upon his honorable discharge, he moved to California and worked in the construction industry and later as a dispatcher for Shell Oil.
