I went through a lot with Doug,

His family name was properly spelled Heitkamp.

He and I were part of the old C&S NG HS, way back when. We hit it off very well and we would call occassionally and spend an hour or two on the phone.

The last time that I saw him we went out to Archer to watch the 4014 return to Cheyenne and then went out to lunch, which was always a grand time.

He worked for Raytheon for many years and he would call from work and I would return the compliment when I got time away from the Railroad.

Doug also produced resin cast models in HO, S and O Scale under the name "Design Tech" which he later sold.

He was knocked down hard by COVID and almost died during the early part of the pandemic. Fortunately, I was able to see him once since then.

I will miss him.
