Donald grew up in Gloucester, MA and was raised in Lanesville where he attended the public schools. At the age of 10 he held a paper route and later worked in the local grocery store.
In 1967 Don moved to Conway to live with his father, Arthur Clough. He attended and graduated from Kennett High School in 1970.
His early employment included Coleman's, Forma-Top and Kearsarge Metallurgical. He also worked for Robert McCauley on numerous construction jobs in the Valley including the Linderhof Chalets.
Donald married Delcia in 1976 and joined the Carpenter's Union in 1979. He started work as a carpenter but later switched to the millwright trade, working as an industrial mechanic on such projects as Maine Yankee, Vermont Yankee, Seabrook Power Plant, Bow Power Plant and the Boise Cascade Hydro Plant in Berlin. Donald also had the opportunity to help build and work on the set of the movie On Golden Pond and also on St. Paul's School in Concord, NH. Before his passing, Donald was working as a foreman at the Berlin Biomass Power Plant in Berlin, NH.
When not employed by the union, Donald had a side carpentry business, "Clough & Sons", and did local work with his five boys. He also worked off and on in the Valley doing carpentry for Kevin Macmillan.
Donald loved the outdoors--the mountains, rivers and the
