I was also saddened to hear of Doug's passing. He was a kind and talented young man. We were blessed to have been at Highland with him.

In Jr High, Doug had a shiny Black Schwinn Continental, I had a Blue one. We used to ride our bikes up to my Grand Parents Cabin (about a mile up Little Cottonwood Canyon) I was clocked by a car running along side me 55 mph for about 100 yards (about 7800 South, Wasatch Blvd). He loved Banjo"s and Guitars (his favorite was a 12 string Guitar). We miss you Doug..... LeGrand
