It was with great sadness that today I learned of the passing of my old partner, David Doland. He and I worked together for 22 years conducting background checks for the Department of Defense, and then the whole Government. He always had a wry, acerbic wit that was always good to lighten things up. We weren’t close outside of work; I doubt I saw him much more than five times after after he retired. He was retired disabled Vietnam Vet, and never let his “disability” slow him down. He would refuse a meal if rice was served with it: his last bowl of rice, he said, was moving when he ate it. The notice said he died of natural causes while on vacation in New Mexico. I think the World is a little less without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t find the photo of him I wanted to post: I had only been tripping over it for the last three or four years, so it is now invisible! So here are some from past posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From when I was running the Pacific NW Regional website. (He’s the guy with the hair!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Dave’s Retirement in 2009. The guy in the middle was our first boss, Vance Curtiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
