Lost Wooded Island: In Memoriam by Doug Anderson (3264 words) |
 | Anderson described the July 5, 2003 storm with 88-mph winds as a horizontal tornado that cut a swath from 59th to 63rd Streets, concentrating its worst fury on Wooded Island but not sparing trees north and south. |
| Anderson pointed to vandalism as another problem, noting that this has been restrained at the tea house by using Douglas pine, which is naturally fire resistant, and painting over graffiti as fast as it happens. |
| Anderson said there used to be some willows here, as around the lagoon edge, planted mainly by Olmsted's sons in 1905, but they reached their normal life span and were gone by the end of the 1990's. |
| Fresh Wind Church in Colorado Springs Colorado (641 words) |
| Doug moved to Colorado Springs along with his family in the summer of 2003 to found Fresh Wind Church--A church that focuses on loving people exactly as they are, but also showing people that God loves us too much to leave us as we are. |
| Doug is a major extrovert and enjoys being with people whenever possible and all four of the kids are as well. |
| Doug likes to say that "other people who have been on classified missions can't tell you about them because they would have to kill you, but in his case you would just be bored to death listening." It was in the military that Doug developed much of his philosophy of leadership and ministry. |
