Person You Should Know — Don Ault

Anonymous The North Jefferson News Wed Feb 18, 2009, 03:20 PM CST

Don Ault, 82, lives in Pinson and is known for his guitar skills.

• Where are you from?

I’m originally from Tennessee. I moved to Alabama in 1964 and have lived in several places around Birmingham.

• Do you still work or are you retired?

I’m a retired salesman. I sold brick and building materials with Birmingham Clay Products. It closed down in 1980.

• What do you do in your spare time?

I play bluegrass music on the guitar. And I like to travel. I’m going to the Caribbean next month on a cruise with my daughter. Her name is Vickie Jackson and she lives in Cullman.

• What other family do you have?

I have two daughters and two grandsons, in Cullman and Huntsville.

• Tell me more about your music.

This is the second time I’ve played music. Before that, I played guitar in Tennessee. I took a break in the middle because I had to work some. I also took a break because of the military.

• Tell me about your military service.

I was in the U.S. Army in World War II. I was in Germany, in Berlin most of the time. I was a cannoneer in the 3rd Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard. It’s the oldest infantry regiment in the U.S. Army.

• Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Just that I’m enjoying retirement.

Civitan’s ‘General’ wins major recognition Gardendale native Robert E. Lee is revered as “The General of Recruiting” as the president of the Gardendale Civitan Club.

Lee has led the club for more than 20 years and he’s recruited about 200 people into the organization. “There’s a secret to recruiting for Civitans and I’m one of the few people that knows it,” he said. “The secret is a-s-k. You just have to ask people to join.”
