A Loss to Soaring
Doug was one of my mentors and a great teacher for championship soaring weather support. We both were NWS forecasters ... he in Reno and myself at the Sacramento office. It was at the 1979 Reno National Soaring Championships that I became acquainted with his first class weather briefings. My boss at the time gave me a two week assignment to support the event and learn from Doug (boy... those days of NWS aviation support are LONG GONE). In fact, that opportunity opened my eyes to contest flying. Shortly thereafter I bought my own ASW-15B glider.
Doug, your enthusiasm for soaring spread far wider than you ever imagined. You will be sorely missed. Walt Rogers, WX
