Doug White

1944 - 2006

Doug White was exactly the same person off-camera that he was on camera: a true gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor. I still remember my first conversation with Doug. There I was -- brand-new in the broadcast-television business, and yet Doug treated me as if I were his veteran colleague. In fact, he made me feel so comfortable during that initial conversation that within minutes I'd forgotten that we'd just met and instead I was talking to him as if we had been old friends. He was just that kind of guy.

Doug was truly one of the good guys of local television, and he will be sorely missed.
