Another KRA member gone. Don Hamilton has Passed
« on: September 19, 2024, 07:02:06 PM »
For those of you that knew Don, he was a collector and historian of Civil War and Rev War items. He passed September 5th. He was a member of the KRA since 1977. Here is a link to his obituary.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Sorry to hear about Don. Don was one of the fella's I met at the Princeton Show years ago, he hung around with the like's of Louie Parker and Jerry Noble and that crowd of Hooligans.  ;) My kind of fella. I never seen him that he did not have a smile on his face. Prayers for his family.

I had the privilege of knowing him, I was positioned between Louie and Don at the KRA for 4 years. Don had an incredible sense of humor, everything that came out of his mouth was funny. Was always a pleasure to be in his company, I’m glad to have been able to call him a friend. He’ll be missed.

Godspeed as you cross the Jordan on your way home Don. The KRA mourns our loss as you forge ahead on our shared path.

I did not know Don well . I met him at the K.R.A.  and the Princeton show a couple of times. I did however here Don Hamilton stories from Louie Parker  on a regular basis . It's sad the world  has lost another good man . The soup has lost a little more flavor. Eric, thanks for posting this and letting us know.  Jim
