Rusty,
This is a wonderful memorial to Doug. I didn’t know him, but he sounds like quite a fellow. Thank you for letting us know of his passing.

After many attempts, he swapped it for a Hustler 6-BTV, and together we spent two months building our verticals side by side. Doug’s energy was boundless, and through that project we shared not only knowledge, but also friendship.

In Wisconsin, he taught industrial arts with a focus on publishing and photography, later serving as the district’s pioneering IT leader—well before the term “tech guru” became commonplace.
