Doug graduated from St. Louis Country Day School and came to Princeton to study chemistry. He joined Cottage, the St. Louis Club, and the Chemistry Club, played 150-pound football, and roomed with John Giordano.

He earned a medical degree from Washington University in 1956, then served as a captain in the Air Force in Germany. He worked as an internist at St. John’s Hospital and in private practice. After retirement, he served as a volunteer with Missouri Veterans Endeavor.

Doug died March 17, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Ann; and their children, Douglas Jr., Sarah, and Stephen. The class sends its best, with a salute to Capt. Doug for his service to our country.
