In the late 1980s and early 90s I wrote an architectural history of Kleinhans Music Hall and had an opportunity to be with Doug over a number of years.
Doug always worked to promote the best interest of the Music Hall. With me he was generous with his time and resources. For this I will be forever grateful.
My condolences to his family. You can take pride that he was successfull in an often difficult job. The city and community should be appreciative of his effort.

Dear Nicole,
Long after you were in my class, I would see your dad out walking his dog by Huth Road. He was such a nice man! You and your mom must miss him so much!
Please know that I have been thinking of you both.
