Don Crane
Dave Harris is a young man who is dating Linda Stewart. Miss Strangeworth is distrustful of him and writes to Linda’s parents to warn them of the relationship. Near the end of the story, he sees Miss Strangeworth drop one of her letters—the one addressed to Don and Helen Crane—and decides to deliver it himself. Although he is well-intentioned, he ruins the anonymity of Miss Strangeworth’s letter.
