Doug was an inspirational teacher and a wonderful person who could make you laugh and take you to task for being unprepared in the span of minutes. I marveled at his his musical knowledge and how he worked tirelessly to give us a taste of something wonderful in the classroom.
Whether it was teaching us the proper way to play a chord or trying to put on a concert, Doug was respected and loved by his students. As a teen, I was drawn to his kindness and sense of humor. I only wish I had gotten to know him better as an adult. I won't forget the time I spent with him at MBHS.
