Once Don was estalished he became an icon of Birch Rock, so iconic that the staff have even had t-shirts made with Don's picture on them.  One such T-shirt was a white shirt with a picture of Don on the front and 'Attitude is Everything' written underneath.  Many look forward to seeing Don and Janice when they return to camp to quicken that feeling of being back on campus.  From May through Opening Day every summer for the last almost 30 years, Donald has been all out getting the campus ready for Opening Day.  As the staff arrives in June, Don's there passing out brushes, weedwackers and gloves and sending them to work.
