Almost

by Douglas Davis

Doug Davis considers himself an ordinary American guy who's led anything BUT an ordinary life. From the start of his days in a tenement walk-up on New York's Lower East Side through his current quiet life in the Maine countryside, the road between has seen roller-coaster scale ups and downs in an airline career, any number of entrepreneurial adventures that came SO close to huge successes, a glimpse into the belly of the beast on 9/11, and not one but two derailments en route to being a pro baseball player. So many 'almosts,' but at the end of each was always a next adventure for a man whose unbeatable spirit kept him moving forward, always sure that the bad times were just bumps along the way in a life well-lived.
