Debbie and the whole Hodson Family,
My name is Mark Salimena (Sal) and I went to WVU and pledged the Sigma Chi Fraternity with Doug. I was devastated when Rob Campbell sent a few of us a note about Doug's passing. Doug was a great friend and while we only spoke about once a year following college, I have some of the best memories of our time at WVU and Sigma Chi. Whether it was taking me home to Beckley on weekends or going on Spring Break - it was always a crazy and fun adventure. Doug (and the crew from Beckley) took me in as a kid from Philly who was far from home and shared his friendship/home which I always appreciated. I was lucky enough to be invited to Doug & Debbie's wedding and I have attached a picture that I have share with a few since I found out. Doug was a great man and always shared his stories about how proud he was about his family and kids. I will miss him and my sincere regards to Debbie, Donnie and all the family.
