Sharon Alexander Bond provided the following :Donald Terry Peters (as seen in the picture of the entire family):
He never married, and after college and the air force, he lived in Puerto Rico for many years as a teacher on the naval base there at Roosevelt Roads.

Two nephews were named after him: Annette's son Donald Phelps and Richard's son Donald Reginald. When Uncle Don died in his fifties, he left all his worldly goods
to Richard's son Don, stipulating that if Don preceded him in death, then Annette's son Don was to inherit ( a good sum of money and land in Puerto Rico and Louisiana).
His reason as stated in the will was that a person would like for his name to live on. If both had preceded him in death, the inheritance would have gone to Southeastern
Louisiana University for scholarships for students from Washington Parish named Don! At any rate, Richard's son Don was underage when he inherited everything.
