Donald William Inslee was born July 20, 1955 at Nashville, Kansas, the
     third child of Theop and Phyllis Mullikin Inslee. Donald attended elementary
     schools in Pratt, Emporia, and Ogallah, Kansas, and Suttle, Alabama; junior
     high in Ogallah, Kansas, and Ada, Oklahoma; he graduated from Ada High School 
     in 1973. After graduation he moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was employed.
          After completing Murray State College at Tishomingo, Oklahoma he enrolled
     at Oklahoma State University at Stillwater, Oklahoma. He spent one summer at 
     the research station on Lake Texhoma. Donald graduated from OSU in 1979 with
     a degree in zoology and enlisted in the Peace Corps fisheries program. He was
     sent to Jamaica where he lived in primitive conditions and constructed fish
     ponds using primitive methods. After his return to Ada he worked with his
     brothers in the construction business.
          On April 1, 1984, Donald married Sheridan "Sherry" Carter at the Asbury
     Methodist Church in Ada, Oklahoma. Sherry is the daughter of Jesse and Gladys
     Byler Carter. Donald has adopted Sherry's two children: Tammy Jeanette Crawford,
     born November 14, 1970 at Shreveport, LA and Michael Allen Crawford, born
     May 19, 1973 at Houston, TX.
          Donald is a carpenter, a welder, and works in the construction field. The
     family lives on a farm southeast of Fitzhugh, OK in a house designed and built
     by Donald. He is very much involved with the family fish farm.
          Donald remembers taking his afternnon nap in the tire swing under the big
     tree by the cave, and watching the family dog, Huckleberry, chasing rabbits in
     the wheat field south of the house. He and his brothers and sister have a great
     respect for the value of hard work, and this respect began on the Inslee farm
     at Isabel.
