So sad to hear about Doug's passing. That guy could out run a cheetah! I witnessed his track expertise after school and couldn't believe how agile he was. Never had contact after I left for college but know he was active for as long as he could . RIP my friend. Another Eagle laid to rest!!

Sorry to learn of the passing of Doug and Ray Hazelwood. I know both a flying 'high like an Eagle' and will be missed by friends and family. If I'm not mistaken, it appears that Doug passed in 2015. I don't recall hearing anything about it at that time. Gaye Lawrence did not offer a date but her information about his service in the US Army and his coaching career was nice to read about. And he was a Major, to boot. Our grads have excelled in so many careers. Honored to be a member of the Class of '62. Merry Christmas to all and may 2018 be healthy and great for all of you--and your families. .
