Comments:

Moved back to the region in 2018 following the death of my dear, sweet wife of nearly 40 years, Gaynale Cheek Kapica (HHS '79). I married Leslie Schulz (HHS '77, in 2021). I retired after 44 years on the Radio. I now host an International show called Someone You Show Know Podcast.

I love being back in the local area after being away for 40 years.

My kids are grown and married and I have no grandchildren.

Leslie and I Live in Wanath with our cats, Angel & Chloe.

School Story:

Loved anything to do with being in front of people. Never afraid of public speaking. My friend, classmate Darren Chmelik and I would spend many Friday evenings doing our radio shows, imitating our heroes John Records Landecker and Larry Lujack. I have many of the old cassettes. I guess I always knew what I wanted to do since I was a kid.

Steve, My dear friend and groomsman at my wedding in 1978.  Like me, Steve had a desire to one day be a DJ on the radio. He was a great guy and his life was cut short way too soon.  Much Love, buddy.  -Don

When I'm not on the radio I love to fly, travel and enjoy the arts.
