Washie knew everybody and he would have breakfast at everybody’s house during his milk deliveries. Donnie hated it and leaned on the horn of his dad’s milk truck.

 

Washie is the reason Donnie is a dentist. When Donnie was a junior in college, majoring in chemistry, Washie asked him one day: "What do you want to do, Donnie?" "I don’t know. I think I want to be a chemist" said Donnie. Washie replied: "No, I think you should be a dentist!" "OK" said Donnie and became a dentist.
