Patty, Not a day goes by that I don't think of Doug and you during March Madness. He was such a terrific basketball fan and we both were in many NCAA pools at HCC. I hope you got my card. I just wanted to express again my sympathy for you. My prayers are with you. He impacted so many lives throughout his teaching career.
