Diane Short

Donald was raised by his grandmother, Lulu or Ersula. When he was a teenager he decided to go look for his mother and found her in a logging camp in the Adirondack mountains. She was real sick in bed and there was no heat. He built a fire in the fireplace and made her soup with what ever food he could find. He said there wasn't much of anything to eat. He was in the process of feeding his mother when the man she was with came home and kicked him out. A few months later he was told his mother died. That was the last time he ever saw his mother.
