Doug Kimball, aka Golden Years Doug, from Schenectady is a GNA listener, huge source of inspiration, and a friend to all of us here at the radio station.  I'm asking you a small favor.  It will only take a few moments (won't cost you anything) and I can assure you it will mean the world to me and our buddy Doug, who is in the fight of his life.
