I'm so sorry to know of the world losing Doug who entertained us with the 8:05 Guy and songs about Ed Vrdolyak. He made getting up and going to work pleasurable. I went to Brasil with Doug, Bonnie , Karen and Ed in 1991. Rico Sua've Tour. He stay at The Rio Atlantico and Imwss down the street at the Rio Othon. That trip is memorable even today. We got license plates pressed with the WGCI logo as well. It was a "fantastic" 7 days, for which I will always remember and thank Doug Banks and...
