Don Ashton
Don Ashton passed away on Easter Saturday 2020, three days
short of his 81st birthday. He will be remembered
for many things, but music and engineering will be high on
the list.
Don was the technical lead for the 4709 project, and there's
an appreciation
of his life on the 4709 project web site.
