He was a trip outing participant and he was very festive by bringing his little Christmas tree to dress up the PACK Holiday meetings.  Don liked to fish and was also a member of the Houston Canoe Club, where he liked to participate in canoe trip outings.  PACK will be developing a ‘Hall of Honor’ page on the PACK website for current and past members. This is to honor those that have contributed to the sport and environment that we all love.  In addition, at the PACK Holiday Feast party, we will announce a memorial in honor of Don Wilson. </font></p> <p><font face="Times New
