I met Doug 26 years ago at Harvest Time. My first impression about Doug, was I dont want to make that guy mad and if I did I was sure I could atleast out run him. However, getting to know Doug was fun. He always had a smile on his face and cutting up. He wasnt shy about being a Christian and shared it quite easily. We were part of an accountablity group for several years. Doug, myself, Greg Hale, Bill Flaspohlar and Buster Brown. We had some great times sharing our faults, praying and uplifting one another. Doug was very open about things he was dealing with. We played a lot of softball together. Wow, could he talk smack to the opposing teams. We also played golf together. One particular round was myself and Greg played against Doug and Mike Moore. We were taking them to school, until, out of knee high grass, Doug took a gorilla swing at the ball to get it out of the hay....the ball went in the hole. Greg and I were stunned and didnt recover from that. Doug strolled to the green and glotted like he meant to knock it in the hole. Doug, thanks for all the laughs and being a friend! Elton
