I simply would not be who I am today if my path had not crossed with Doug Reed's. He was my supervisor and journalism instructor and helped me to find self-confidence in my writing and editing, and I still remember so much that he taught me. Also, he was a father figure at that young point in my life. We later became dear friends, and, yes, Doug, you are missed. However, you always are in my heart. Condolences to Grace, whom I have grown to love as well, and the rest of the family. Toni

Mr. Doug Reed touched many lives in special ways during his lifetime. He and his first wife (Joyce) were very special friends of my parents, Frank and Elsie Brown. Mr. Reed and my father shared many special times with each other during the years they worked together at WCU as well as their work in civic groups/organizations. One of the highlights of our life was a trip to Hawaii in August 1977. The Reeds were such fun to be with on that trip. A smile always comes to our faces when thinking of that trip. In later years, we were very fortunate to get to know Grace and see what she meant to Mr. Reed. Western North Carolina will miss Mr. Reed greatly. A true gentleman in every sense of the word, Becky and I consider it an honor to have known him. Our prayers and thoughts go out to each family member.
Much Love to all of you, Frank and Becky Brown

Grace and Family, Doug Reed was a very special person in my life and my career. He was my Journalism Professor, my Mentor and my friend. I still have the old blue AP Style Manual which was our bible in his classes. Even after graduation from Western, we stayed in touch. His calls or email were always a treat. He was proud of my career and I owe him so much for touching my life. --30--

I did not know Doug Reed early in my career at WCU, but the people who worked for him were frequently getting me gigs on radio and TV and I knew they had great respect for him. Then, late in 1985, Chancellor Coulter asked Doug to chair a small committee I served on to write a mission statement in response to demands by the institution’s accreditor. Instead of seeing this as a simple writing task, Doug led a fundamental reexamination of Western’s role and mission. The product, though initially controversial, helped WCU develop a distinctive identity that facilitated its subsequent development. I got to know Doug on a more personal level when he married Grace and joined our adult Sunday School class. There his scholarly bent, his deep Christian faith, and his stories from newsrooms contributed greatly to our discussions. Doug was the only member of the class who had a Greek Bible that he would refer to for adding special insights. Doug, it was good to know you and you will be missed. Condolences to Grace and all the family.
