Thanks Dick, although I missed knowing Doug well at the time he nevertheless was an inspiration to me in the ways he was so friendly, alert and alive and all his achievements in music and academics reflected his high sense of class and character.  I will not forget his approaching me after my somewhat lackluster performance in doing a cover act of Peter Paul and Mary along with my more able co-stars John Howie and Susan Roach.  It was 50 years after we had graduated that Doug and I had a conversation which I will never forget (still being star-struck by his reputation from high school days.  He was so kind, gentle and courteous in his comments about music.  We talked about his experience playing the 12-string guitar, an instrument I also used to play but could not deftly handle that night due to my arthritic fingers from years of doing drawings.  He was nice enough not to even mention the latter, still exemplifying his outstanding class and character.  Doug Hunt and I became close and instant friends 50 years after graduation.  I shall miss Doug, a high school Idol then after 50 years, a Close Friend so very much.
