Biography

One of Floyd's sons-in-law. Bernard says only Don passed Floyd's manhood test without proving himself on the spot, guessing this was because he was a Marine hero. His wife's name is not given.

Stories mentioning Don

Daddy's Daughters and the Men Who Married ThemBernard reflects on Floyd's protectiveness toward his daughters and his demands that sons-in-law prove themselves. Although Floyd never forgave Bill for marrying Iris so young, Bernard thought they eventually liked each other, and Floyd acknowledged Bill's goodness and the couple's help. Don Bonney alone avoided an on-the-spot test, perhaps because he was a Marine hero. Bernard also remembers no parental discussions of marriage or sex.
