Doug Perkins

One of the best parts of graduating in a class of over 550 students, as we did in 1977, is the randomness with which former classmates sometimes re-enter your life. Combine this naturally occurring phenomenon with the search capabilities of Google and the living scrapbook which is FaceBook and you can begin to see why people spend loads of time on the Internet. Today I was told the whereabouts of an old gradeschool pal from my Willard days, Doug Perkins (pictured on the left). We used to kid him in grade school by calling him "Nature Boy." This was for his prolific memory and love of the outdoors. Who would have thought that he would have decided to settle in Vermont? The link below is to the musical group, the Jazz Mandolin Project, he has primarily played with for the last 15 years. Way to go, Doug. Doug Perkins of the Jazz Mandolin Project
