V8tiger Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this but I'm a fan of Donn Yost's videos and noticed he hasn't posted anything for a while. I know he's had a serious health problem.. but does anyone know anything... I even goggled it and couldn't find anything. If this post is in the wrong section i apologize.....thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Donn is usually present as a vendor at the NNL East, so it would be great to see him there on April 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I hope he's doing ok - I really enjoyed his "Fundamentals" video series. I don't know him, but I'd like to chat with him sometime Paging @LoneWolf15 (in case notifications go to his email) - Donn to the courtesy phone!

Engine 51 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I just read a post on his Facebook page that mentioned a possible brain tumor. I certainly hope that’s not the case…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8tiger Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 I'm really looking forward to NNL east this year.. I haven't been to one since I took my youngest son about 15 years ago... just so happens I got into models again because of and during the Covid thing and then it was canceled twice! But back to Donn, I hope he's doing good and well enough to attend. He's really a shinning light for the hobby... I really looked forward to Fridays and the "Fundamentals" video series. lotta' experience there.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Canuck Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Wish and hope for Donn to return to full health and resume his role as a great educator and source of guidance in modeling. Gained great knowledge from his previous contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I used to tune in on Fridays also. He did have surgery for brain cancer problem, but he said they had gotten it all taken care of. Posted episode after surgery, but that was last one. Hoping for the best for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Any more news about Donn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine 51 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 There was a comment posted a few days ago on the last YouTube video he did stating that someone had reached out to his wife enquiring about him. It stated she told this person that Donn is “struggling with his disease”. So, based on that, one would have to assume he is still amongst the living. I hope this is accurate, and prayerfully hope he can return to the world of model cars, with the disease behind him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I would think his family and Dons priority is to get healthy. I would think if he is no longer among us it would be posted here..We need too keep him in our prayers… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
