Damn, I'm thinkin Doug was the only other 70 yr old on here. We did some reminiscing over the years & he spoke of his family often. RIP ya old grump.

Off to Laconia in the sky.

Correction, I thought Doug was my age but on checking his obit.--he was only 67--the Creator's funny about all that stuff. Again, RIP my friend.

I first talked to Doug about 5 years ago. We emailed back and forth quite a bit and spoke on the phone at least once or twice per month. A few years ago on a trip to Nashua I stopped in Andover and had a visit with him at the shop for a few hours. He was full of information and laughs, I will sure miss talking to him. RIP.

We talked on the phone three times for about a total of six hours, the week leading up to his passing. We never talked before that. And now I feel like I lost my best friend.
