Doug and I grew up on the same block – between Grove and Bernard across from Cliff Park. I don’t know for sure when we first met but it must have been something like age 4 or 5. So he was a friend and neighbor from then, through the 8 years at Roosevelt, and on through high school, where I think we walked to and from LC together almost every day over the four years. We wound up on separate coasts of the country but reconnected after he turned up near me in the Washington DC area in the mid 70s. He was not here too long … returning to Spokane after a couple of years. I remember him as a unique and true friend. I am sure others who got to know him would say the same thing. He was an unusually honest guy, about himself and about other things, and a most astute and accurate observer about life and its ups and downs. When I think about the accident in 1992, I always linger on the thought that he was not able to be there to see his kids as they continued to grow up … a great sadness, because they meant the world to him.
