While working for the NFO, Don moved to Wolf Point. It was there that he met Diane June Shumway. Don and Diane were married on Sept. 14, 1984. To this union two daughters, Lauren and Katelyn, were bom. Don followed his dream and with great passion returned to the family ranch, where he worked with his father. Eventually he was able to fulfill his greatest achievement when he purchased the Wood Ranch along Beaver Creek northeast of Wibaux.

It was with great pride when he was appointed to the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee. He held this position until time spent traveling would take him from his daughters. His daughters were very important to him. Don enjoyed tak- ing them fishing at the pond on the ranch and spending time with them at the cabin he built in the pines at Fort Peck. Don was proud to have his nephew Craig Helvik join him on the ranch along with Craig and Nina's children. Cade and Ross, whom he referred to as his "little ranch hands."
