I am very sorry to learn about Doug's passing. Although it has been many years since Doug and I last saw one another, it just seems like yesterday that we were high school classmates and co-workers at Killbear Park. Those were special times that I will always cherish. My deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time.
