Personal Life
Askew’s middle name, ‘’O’Donovan’’, was his mother’s maiden name, and he kept the double initial (O’D.) in her honor.
He married the former Donna Lou Harper in August 1956, and they have been married for more than 50 years. They have two children: daughter and son.
Askew’s father and two brothers had a “serious drinking problem”, which helps explain why he is a lifelong teetotaller and non-smoker.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
