to his New Jersey beach home following an assignment in New York.Friends and family are shocked at the sudden loss, but comforted to know he died doing what he loved. The computer whiz left a high-paying job at IBM in 1995 to pursue his passion for photojournalism. Since then, he worked his way up to covering major news stories for ZUMA Press and leading dailies the New York Post and the Philadelphia Daily News, where he was a regular contributing photojournalist. ZUMA's director and founder, Scott Mc Kiernan, remembers Don as a hard-core news photographer and a go-getter that would never fail to deliver the money shot. "Don will be greatly missed by all of us who knew and worked with him," he said. Don is survived by his sons Michael (23) and David (21), and by his wife Berjoohy. A memorial for Don will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday June 2nd at Holly Trinity Church, 101 Ashmead Road, Cheltenham, PA Pennsylvania.  zNewsLandslide Rocks Laguna

Nepal's Social Unrest Continues  Disorder arose outside the United Nations office in Kathmandu, as the Maoist Victims Association demanded that the government declare them internal refugees and ensure their resettlement.
