New Town Lenah Valley Probus Club recently celebrated the monumental birthday of Donald who turned 100.
Many members attended the special morning tea along with Dons daughter and son-in-law.
Don was born in Burnie in 1925 and attended the University of Tasmania graduating with degrees in both science and engineering.
After gaining his degree he commenced work with a leading energy business where he remained for his entire working career. In his thirties, Don developed a new method of using lightning arresters on high voltage electricity networks, which gained international attention.
Don has been a regular attendee at meetings and outings organised by the Club and for many years he was an active member of their walking group.
