Don Williams (born May 27, 1939, Floydada, Texas, United States) is an American country singer, songwriter and a 2010 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame. He grew up in Portland, Texas, and graduated in 1958 from Gregory-Portland High School. After seven years with the folk-pop group Pozo-Seco Singers, he began his solo career in 1971, singing popular ballads and amassing 17 number one country & western hits.
His straightforward yet smooth bass-baritone voice, soft tones, and imposing build earned him the nickname: "Gentle Giant" of country music.
When Don was three years old he sang in a local talent contest—his first public performance—and won first prize, an alarm clock. He began playing guitar as a teenager, which he learned from his mother. While a teenager, he played with country, rock n' roll and folk bands. He formed his first band with Lofton Kline, called The Strangers Two, and in 1964 was approached by Susan Taylor to form a trio which ultimately became the Pozo-Seco Singers, a folk-pop group. The band recorded a song called, "Time" on a local label called Edmark Records and it became a regional hit in their home state of Texas. Columbia Records, picked up the record, signed the group, and released a series of Top 50 hits and three albums. After releasing a fourth album on Certron Records in 1970, the group disbanded in 1971.
Dr Don Williams AO HonFIEAust CPEng FTSE (1937–2001) was born into a railway family. With sound business acumen and keen intellect he oversaw revolution in Australian railway practices during the 1980s and helped initiate reform processes that continued for many years after he left the railway industry.
Williams began his railway career in 1954 as an engineering cadet for the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR), and by 1959 graduated from the University of Western Australia, where he became a Design Engineer, a position he would hold until 1964 when he briefly became the Acting Assistant District Engineer based at Kalgoorlie. In 1965 Williams resigned from the WAGR on completion of his indenture.
After leaving the WAGR Williams undertook further university studies. He undertook post-graduate degrees specialising in bridge design at Rice University in Texas and Imperial College London, gaining a PhD in 1969. In 1971 Williams returned to Australia to work for Redpath Dorman Long, a British company tasked with the redesign and reconstruction of the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne, that collapsed during initial construction in 1970. He was the Project Engineer for the project, but left in March 1977 before the bridge was officially opened.
Donald Reid Williams (September 2, 1935 – December 20, 1991), nicknamed "Dino," was an American professional baseball player. He was a 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m), 218 lb (99 kg) right-handed pitcher who had a three-game, two-week trial in Major League Baseball for the 1963 Minnesota Twins.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Williams began his 11-year professional career in 1955. Eight years later, after a successful half-season with the Triple-A Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers, he was summoned by the Twins. He made his MLB debut on August 4, 1963, against the Kansas City Athletics, in whose farm system Williams had previously toiled. In that game, he pitched 1⅓ innings of scoreless relief, although he did allow an inherited runner to score and loaded the bases in his final inning. His other two outings, on August 13 against the Baltimore Orioles and August 17 against the Washington Senators, were less successful. Williams returned to the minor leagues and remained there through the 1966 season.
"Good Ole Boys Like Me" is a song written by Bob McDill, and recorded by American country music artist Don Williams. It was released in March 1980 as the second single from the album Portrait. The song reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
Don Williams (born 1940?) is an American poker player.
Williams has won three bracelets at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), and has cashed in many other WSOP events including the Main Event.
He won his first bracelet in 1982 in the $1,000 Seven Card Stud event. In 1985 he won his second bracelet in the same event. Williams won his third bracelet in a Razz event in 1988. He has made final tables in various events at the WSOP and has also finished runner-up in World Series events five times.
Williams has also cashed in the WSOP Main Event several times. He made his highest finish in the Main Event in 1991 when he made the final table and ended up with a fourth place showing. He won a prize of $115,000 for this final table finish.
As of 2010, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,700,000. His 21 cashes at the WSOP account for $799,828 of those winnings.

Don Williams or Ducky as he is known throughout the Disney community is an animator and illustrator for the Walt Disney World Company. Williams has worked at Disney for over thirty years, at a number of different positions, finally ending up in the marketing division as an animator.
Don Williams was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. He is of Scottish descent and still has strong ties to Scotland. He grew up poor during the 1950s. His mother was a single mother raising 8 children including Don. His mother nicknamed Don "Ducky" because she had a love for the Donald Duck comic books. Williams always knew he wanted to be an artist. When he was just 10 years old he wrote his first letter to Walt Disney asking for a job. Walt Disney wrote him back saying, he was sorry but he did not have any jobs for 10-year-old cartoonist, however he encouraged him to keep drawing. He graduated high school in the early 1960s and was immediately drafted into the Vietnam War. He joined the Navy, and served for four years in the Navy. After he left the navy he went back to Massachusetts, where he got a job as a teller at a local bank; after a few months of work he was promoted to branch manager. He managed the bank for 10 years.

Oh, its late I know I should be leaving
We've both got someone waiting, we'll have to go
And it's so strange to think that I've just met you.
I almost wish I had met you long ago
And in your eyes I see a certain look
And that same look must be in mine
And who knows just what we might have been,
Another place another time
I'll admit in time that I'll forget you
'Cause the truth is I still love her after all
But even though we knew it couldn't happen
For a moment we felt something, Oh, so strong
And in your eyes I see a certain look
And that same look must be in mine
And who knows just what we might have been,
Another place another time
And who knows just what we might have been,
Another place another time...
