First I am aware of Doug's passing, I'm still trying to wrap my arms around the fact that Doug has left us. I've known Doug since 1999, we shared some very great times together. This guy was a blessing to society. Doug was the spearhead in sending me and my troops "goodies" while in Baghdad, never will forget what he did. Also, will never forget when he asked me to get the sizes of all my troops under my command. I did so, and shortly thereafter, in came a number of boxes filled with the Wheels of Time T shirts. Low and behold, we had a group photo made and I emailed it to Gaum. It was then published in the Wheels of Time Mag. I still have it to this day, and now, it means so much more. Never will forget you my Brother, and I'll also never will forget the time we took our Harley's to MD for steamed crabs. Keep a seat in heaven for us Doug, and may you forever rest in peace.
