Letters
From Some
of Doug's
Fans
I had written
a letter on a website and these are a
few responses
I received
I saw your
article on the BBI. I am one and still am Doug's biggest fans.
I have
many items
on him
including the media guides from the University of Kentucky and all
Giants
media guide. I have many pictures, artilces, and even one of his
jerseys
that he wore with the Giants. If there is anything
I can
help you with let me know. I was only able to meet him once. I
followed
his career thoughly.
Thanks and once again sorry for your loss
This letter
was received with photo's of Doug
from Art.
I can
tell you that my wife and i met Doug in the Marriot inn in Milwaukee
the evening
before the Packer game in 1980. He was eating with Joe Danelo
(he was
our place kicker) and I am not sure who the third person at the
table
was (it may have been Brad Benson but i am not sure). For some reason
my wife
liked Joe Danelo and actually she went up to the table and asked
Joe if
he were Danelo. Doug wanted to know how my wife could recognize
Danelo
so easily. He was actually making a joke about Danelo's nose. We
shared
a laugh and a few stories. Wished them luck . I was struck by
Doug's
blue eyes. They were quite percing and showed a curiosity and
inteligence
that i am sure was there. He was always a favorite of Giant
fans because
of his give it all attitude.
I am sorry
I don't have much else to add. The giants did lose a close one
that day,
but they were on the way to becoming a much better team. Its a
shame
about Doug. As a side issue my son is named Douglas
This letter
I received via email

Art and Stephan for there
input
on Doug.
