To Diana, and Doug's family--I've always been humbled by the extent of Doug's knowledge about opera, and by his intense love for the art. It was my privilege to share some programs with him in past years, and only my move from Connecticut nineteen years ago has kept me from maintaining the closer relationship with Doug that I cherished. His death saddens me greatly; the world will certainly be a poorer place without him. His legacy, however, is the large group of listening folk whose lives he enriched with his vast store of music. Play on!
To all who loved Doug, and revered him, I extend my heartfelt condolences.
