Dear Dr. Don’s Family,
After 35 incredible years at the helm of Dr. Don’s Buttons, the time has come for me to step into retirement. It’s a bittersweet moment, but before I hang up my button-making hat, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you, our loyal customers, supporters, and friends.
Dr. Don’s wouldn’t be here without you. From the very beginning, your trust, creativity, and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind everything we do. Whether you came to us for a single button or thousands, for a campaign, an event, or just for fun, you were never just customers, you were part of our extended family.
Through the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful people. Your stories, ideas, and the passion you bring to your projects have made this journey more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. It’s been an honor to help bring your messages to life, one button at a time.
While I may be stepping away, the spirit of Dr. Don’s Buttons will continue in the very capable hands of my son Adam, who has been running the company for the past 7 years. I leave knowing that this company—built on quality, service, and strong relationships—is in good hands. I hope you’ll continue to support the team as they carry on the legacy we’ve all built together.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for your business, your friendship, and your trust over the past 35 years. I look forward to the next chapter of my life.
Wishing you all the best,
Don Ratliff
Aka Dr. Don
