Doug was a founding member of the Pneuma Sunday school class at First United Methodist Church. He played on our class basketball team in the late seventies, bringing his full 6′ 10.5′ frame as a great factor of psychological intimidation to each game. Of course, he was always a gentleman and a great sport. We will miss him!
