Dear Mrs. Mac and family, I met Doug in Navigation school in 1956/7 in Texas. Lost track of him thereafter, but noticed he and 3 others went to pilot training later. Doug and I and 2 others shared the bathroom during cadets. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven. Many blessings on you and your family.... Mike
