My sincere condolences to you Lois and Ruthann for the loss of your devoted husband and father. I fondly remember our family trips to Yellowstone and Seattle together and the fun times we had at the Lake of the Woods. "Doc" had a deep-seated sense of fairness, an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an unbridled curiosity. During our talks together, I came to understand that he was that rare individual who, although may not always agree with your point of view, would take the time to try to understand it.
