I heard second hand that Doug King has passed away. I hope this tragic news is way off base, does anyone know for sure?
Our prayers and wishes are with you Doug.

You could be right. Doug hasn't posted for quite a while. Suddenly just dropped out of the
newsgroups.

They were hinting something like that over in alt.sailing.asa the other day. I didn't make the
connection til just now when I read your post. Katy posted something that sounds like she might
know something about DSK dying probably of cancer.

This is what Katy posted after Mundo posted about a friend of his dying of cancer.

BY any chance, was the person you visited a poster on this group?

It was in a thread called "Hey Mundo."

I think Katy might know something about it.

Doug King is fine and healthy and has not died, nor does he have
cancer.

Doug "DSK" King who just built the hi-tech dinghy?

DSK was prolific on here for many years and suddenly stopped posting a
month or two ago.

I've been looking forward to some test reports on the dinghy.

Doug worked with asbestos covered pipes for a number of years in the Navy
and then in the Merchant Marines. He was always concerned about getting
cancer and even bought his trawler to minimize cancer risk. He drops off the
usenet abruptly, with no explanation and then they are talking about a
regular asa'er having cancer who lives in the same area as Doug. I hope the
suspicions and rumors are wrong and that Doug has won the lottery and is in
Brasilia.

Supposedly carbon fiber dust is just about as bad, one of the reasons
I stopped working with it.
