Jenny and Scott, so sorry to hear about Doug. It's been awhile since I've seen him. He had a contagious laugh and was never afraid to speak his mind. Me and Doug and Otis shared many good and funny conversations. May God bless him and all of you. Jenny, thank you for sharing Doug with me. Peace. Eric Thompson
