Q.
Does Don hold a regular job or is liis whole time taken up with this very fine radio program?
Don manages to keep pretty busy around the studio, even when the show is off the air. See illustration on this page.
How did Don propose to you?
It took place in the front seat of a Dodge while driving through Cherokee Park in Louisville. Ky. I will never forget the flowery language he used, lie looked at me and said: “Will you marry me?” and I said: “Yes.” We were married at a little Spanish church on Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Van Fleming, who was doing a show with Don on the West Coast at the time, was our best man.
Who takes care of the children during the night?
In case of minor eruptions, I handle it. If two or more need attention in the middle of the night I call on Don. He had experience with children before we were married, taking care of his sister who is ten years younger than Don. His sister is now Mrs. John Donahue. John, who is a psychiatrist and originally from Minnesota, is a lieutenant in the army.
Will it he possible for him to continue as M. C. for many years to come?
Don hopes he may be able to continue until one of the boys can take over the job. Donny always has said: “I’d like Dad’s job. I don’t care what the kids say about me!”
JUST AMONG IIS GIRLS
"If you had the opportunity of chatting with Don or me in your living room, what is the one big unanswered question you would like answered in connection with his activities?”
This is one of the questions I asked my assis¬ tant editors in an effort to determine some of the things you might like to know about "Don’s Other Life.” Their questions were so varied and so sincere that I have decided to answer them all to the best of my ability. Here they are:

Q. Does Don really joke with you and the children
as he says he does?
A. Yes . . . but, we provide him with the ammunition.
Q. Isn’t Don ever depressed or blue?
A. Like everyone else, he has his moments. I think the most admirable quality about Don is that when he does feel depressed he doesn’t try to share the mood with us. He retires to his den, or workshop, or sleeps it off. Most people picture him as bubbling over with good health and spirits. There are many times when I think ho should miss a show, for instance when he injured his back, and again when he insisted on broadcasting, with a strep throat, from the hospital bed. Both efforts were great, but he did the shows just the same. His greatest disappointment, I believe, was in being classi¬ fied 4-F because of this back injury.
