Introducing William Thurman Miller
Meet William Thurman “Don” Miller
Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1908, William Thurman “Don” Miller built a life that carried him west to California, through wartime service, and into the steady work of running his own night watch patrol. Along the way, he was a dishwasher, an actor, a soldier, a husband, and a father of four.
You can read his full story — from his early days in Louisville to his later years in Arroyo Grande — over on his Family Page ».
