 Doug
was a dedicated humanitarian, researcher, lecturer, teacher, activist,
internationally known author, and founding director of a not-for-profit
organization, including a long-range investigation of traditional and
esoteric ideologies. He traveled all over the world and was a student
and friend of adepts and healers of many traditions and cultures.
Possessed of incisive wit, he was a master storyteller who shared
personal tales of telepathic experiences and communication, rainmaking,
and psychic healing from his many years of experience working with and
learning from culturally diverse yogis, monks, psychic healers, and
medicine people. He was a student of some, a mentor to many, and a
friend to more.

Special Memories of 2007 Wisdom Keepers
Conference:
 At the April 13-16, 2007
CCSP Wisdom Keepers Conference, those in attendance celebrated what
would have been Doug’s 72nd birthday on April 15th with a
memorial pipe ceremony. Onondaga elder, Lloyd Elm, called in the
spirits of the four directions and invited Doug in, into the empty
chair that was for him. Love for Doug was palpable in the circle as
Grandfather Lloyd reminisced of Doug’s love for all human beings,
and his family and friends told stories that related their love and
respect for him. Grandfather Lloyd spoke humorously of seeing Doug
riding gleefully away on Lloyd’s now inspirit horse, Easy Girl.
Lloyd mentioned jokingly that possibly Doug would no longer have his
bad hair days. His sisters, Pat and Sandra, related his memorable
“Oliver-Sudden-to-the-rescue!” stories and that when he was
a child it felt like, “he never left the spirit world, like he
was just visiting Earth……..and he was the
funniest…..!” A joyful memorial birthday was celebrated
which gave great tribute to Doug and helped us bear his loss from us in
physical form.
