Did you write this? If you did, there is certainly a place for you among the collection of writers. If not the top tier, certainly the bottom tier.
Not only did I write it but the events and quotes from Dr. Doug are true.
Unfortunately Doug had left our area prior to my cancer diagnosis but I will always remember what a unique and colorful person he was.
As to your comments of top/bottom tier, I do not have a clue what that means.
