The segment was usually scheduled for a hour, but they would turn into a four hour marathon, Sammy Hagar and Davy Jones come to mind. Big stuff for little Redding, back then. Thanks Doug.

I was shocked to read that Doug was gone. We were friends in high school, and I enjoyed visiting with him at our reunions. My condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear of Doug's unexpected passing, I saw him at Raley's shopping with his Mom the week before Christmas. We've known Doug since he worked at KRDG where he was lovingly called Sluggo. Rest In Peace Doug.

I was so sorry to hear of Doug's passing. We graduated from EHS in 1972 and I will always remember Doug with smile - he was so outgoing and generous with his time. He will surely be missed by many.

I was so surprised to read of Doug's passing. I met him back when he worked for KRDG and then he called on our County department when he worked for Redding printing. My sincere sympathies to Greg and Doug's entire family.
