This picture was taken in Prague. One of his 4 trips to Europe with my family.  It was a great trip with wonderful food and cheap beer!
One thing about my Dad is he was always a giver and never expected anything in return.  On this trip it was all about the experience.  Taking morning walks with my Mom in the snow and making sure he always had his camera so he could document our experience.  I am thankful my family and I got to travel with him a little in his last years to see the beauty this world has to offer.  
Dad, I know you are proud of me but more importantly I am proud to be your son. There is no better mentor and life coach I could have asked for.  I will continue to make you proud and work on raising my son and daughter to honor your legacy. I know you will still be joining us on our travels and I will make sure I document them for you to view in heaven.
I love and miss you so much Dad!! 

Doug, Karen and I took a trip to New York to meet Randy at a work conference. This picture was taken on St. Patrick's Day. Karen and Randy had gone back to the hotel, but Doug and I were not ready to go home for the night. We ended up at a bar called O'Malley's, where we made lots of friends. We had such a great time wandering around (because we were lost) and just talking as we enjoyed a drink (or two or three.) Somehow we found our way back to the hotel. Needless to say, Karen and Randy were a little less than happy to see us. But we were prepared and came bearing gifts! We brought them t-shirts from the bar we ended up at! There have been so many great times with Doug, but this memory has always been such a sweet one to me! I love you so much Doug!!
