Born Oct 8 1937, West Memphis, Crittenden County, Arkansas.^a

Don's full middle name was simply 'K' (not an initial, so no period).    He was named for the subject of the book "K", by Mary Roberts Rinehart^b [Boston ; New York : Houghton Mifflin Company, 1915 (Cambridge: The Riverside Press); LOC #15016009 - PZ3.R47 K],^c which his mother had been reading during her pregnancy.^b

When Don was a baby he had the sweetest smile that looked very much like the smile on a Kewpie doll's face.    So about everyone called him "Kewpie Pie".    That got shortened as he got older and he was called "Pie".    After all, somehow or the other a man six-foot-four inches tall who weighs in around two hundred and fifty pounds doesn't seem to be much of a "Kewpie Pie!"^b

Donald was known as "Bucket" in high school because he could eat a bucket of chicken at a sitting.^b

He married Carol Jean Ward, 1959, Imboden, Lawrence County, Arkansas.^d    (Randolph County, Arkansas).^e,f    Carol was born in 1941, Arkansas.^g

Donald K Hinshaw died Aug 26 1984, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.^h,i

Donald worked as a geological driller in Texas until he died at the young age of 46 from renal cell carcinoma.    A big man, as all of his brothers are, he enjoyed dancing, drinking, swapping jokes and tall tales with his brothers, fishing, hunting, and his family.^b
