Nina, Maureen and Alice, I’m so sorry. I haven’t seen Doug in years but I have so many wonderful memories. Being the pesky friend of his little sister when we were all teenagers meant of course I would have a crush on him. I think we all did. But he was an ‘older man’ and untouchable so we mooned over him in secret. He was very protective of us as I recall, like a big brother should be. I remember so many times being at your house and hoping for a glimpse of him as he was leaving because he was always going somewhere with his friends. (I also remember what a treat it was to have dinner with you all because you were such wonderful cooks and so easy to be around and you loved each other so much.) I cherish all of you dearly and still consider you a big part of my life as does Linda. We speak of you often, always with love. Doug’s passing makes for a heavy heart and my thought and prayers are with you all. Jennie
