Additional Info
Douglas was taken from his unwed Mother when approximately 9 months old and placed with Annie Whittenmier Home where he was adopted out before she could gather resources enough to get him back. I am not sure any of the dates are exact and his middle birth name is believed to be Lee or Scott, and his birth month if I recall correctly was May, but I am going by recollection as our Mother passed in the early 1990s and seldom talked about the adoption as it was painful for her.
