Nancy, Julie, Katie,
The times I shared with Doug at OCLC as colleagues, and later as friends, count among my most special memories. I never met with Doug that I did not come away feeling energized and changed in perspective. Interacting with Doug was a "gestalt shift" kind of experience. I will miss him so much.
