Great human interest story. The "Greatest Generation," he is.

I agree, modeling is a great past time. Creativity ebbs and flows, and one's imagination takes center stage.

Great story. I've been involved with model airplanes for years. My father gave me some to put together when I was a kid. I enthusiastically endorse building them for any kid (including me). I'm 37. -Tom

Way to go Doug!
I have known Doug for many years and have seen his work. His models are amazing and professionally done. This is the first time I have heard so much about Doug and his life. It was great to read and see the article. I hope others out there fulfill their dreams as he is doing.
