    To Laura, and Chandra, Johlen, Darian and Justin,

    So sorry to hear of Dougs untimely passing. I remember good times at the house… one night in particular, seeing the Northere Lights right over your house… funny that memory came back this instant… and, too, we used to jog once and awhile in the mornings and chat.

    I enjoyed his friendship,

    Best to all
    Dave Gillen
