============

Everyone:

I have some very sad news. Doug Hanson passed away yesterday morning at about 5:00 AM.

As many of you know, Doug had been ill for a few months. He was originally diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm. However, the doctors later determined that the aneurysm was actually a cancerous tumor. He was hospitalized in mid November.

Doug was my close and loyal friend for over 35 years and I will miss him.

In accordance with Doug's wishes, his arrangements will be handled through the Neptune Society. Doug's family has not yet decided on a memorial service.

Bob
