Tribute

In April, I am going, with Doug’s wife Susan (Wheeler, HHS ’74) to a blues festival (how fitting) where the whole town is paying another tribute to Doug. Note the hammer in the Festival logo: a tribute to the man they called Capt. Doug, whose carpentry skills made him everyone’s go-to guy. Also note the Boy Scout emblem. Doug, whose love of hunting was nurtured in the rat barn, was a Golden Eagle and a Scout leader whose three sons also became Eagle Scouts.

 
I thought you might enjoy reading about the tribute Doug Walter’s son created:

When I read this, I remembered seeing some of Anthony Fisher’s work in which his relationship with Alan figured prominently. Chris Walters’ exhibit, however, is not one of us processing the death of one of our parents. It is one of the next generation paying tribute to one of us.
