Rest in Peace.

To think something designed by Don has been apart of 40 years of my life (got my first 12" when I was 6 years old) in the name of ACTION MAN & GI JOE.

Friend of mine just sent me an e-mail about this. I didn't want to have to be the one to report this one.

I'm pleased he lived to see and attend the 50th Anniversary Convention. But this is still a shame.

Thank you, Mr. Levine. Not only does G.I. Joe owe you a world of thanks, but so does any other toy that ever called itself an "action figure", and we, the fans of all of those amazing toys, salute you.

That is sad on the 50th anniversary and on Memorial day weekend.
