Don Davison

I'm glad to see that Dianne Williamson was willing to find out what's going on with Don.

I used to be acquainted with Don Davison, the Shrewsbury school bus driver who's been vilified for "reckless endangerment of a child" over the past several days. Actually, I haven't had any slightest contact with him for years, but he was one of the older crop of kids that I grew up with in Grafton. He's five years older than me, so it isn't like I hung out with him. But his family were members of the same church my family went to. I had plenty of interactions with him, none of which I could have ever characterized as negative. I knew his younger sister and brother. I knew his Mom and Dad.

They were and are, everyone in that family, good people.

Frankly, I can't believe that the local press is so starved for content that a story such as this could even merit the ink that was used to print it before the rest of the story, as Dianne has now revealed, makes it such a non-event.

Unfortunately for Don, it all had to happen in a town where all the children are perfect, and about whom there could be no question.
