One of our members, Don Mayall, passed away
June 28 after a brief illness. He and his wife
Carolyn Curtis got involved early in the
Dean campaign (March 2003), and they became
charter members of the Dean Democratic Club
of Silicon Valley when it formed in June 2004.
In the Club's early years, Don helped
get out the vote for our endorsed
candidates, represented the Club for many
years at the Santa Clara County Democratic
Central Committee's endorsement meetings
(when he spoke, people shut up and listened),
and served as Club treasurer for several years.
Friendly and efficient, he enjoyed checking
people in and accepting their checks at our
fundraisers. Don was, as Ralph Wheeler wrote,
"a pillar of the Dean Club." Read Donald Mayall's
obituary here.
