nation (first place) in Poetry in 1987. Dondi took first place in the nation for Expository speaking and Runner-Up "Outstanding
Speaker in the Nation", 1988. Dondi and Tanya together with their colleagues took first place in the nation in
Reader's Theatre, 1987. Dondi was the "Most Valuable Speaker" at Palomar two years in a row. These were some of
the best years of their lives with their Dad.
