In Rememberance:

Don Coldsmith

Don Coldsmith - Courtesy Washburn University

It is with with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved friend Don Coldsmith.  

Don was the author of over 40 books including the celebrated Spanish Bit Saga.  He was always happy to speak to his readers, give advice to aspiring writers, and always had a joke to tell.

Please see The Emporia Gazette for a full account of Dr. Coldsmith's life.

We will miss you, Don. Peace be with you.
