How I first met Robert Doan

Robert sent me a letter telling me he was coming to Lincoln, Nebraska to do some research on the Nebraska Doans, my grandparent's, Wayman Herschel and Lula Doan. I had asked my mother Mildred (Mili) about her relatives back in Tennessee and she always said she would tell me later. My mother passed in 1999 and I never learned anything until Robert arrived. Robert was like a walking family database. I never thought anyone could know so much about their family history. Robert and I stayed in touch through Emails and we spent several hours on the telephone in early 2017. Robert was so helpful and patient with all my questions. Robert also helped me on the Randall side of my family. 

I always thought of Robert as a family friend and was totally shocked when I received word that my friend had passed. 

Heaven has received a proud and honorable man who will now have a chance to meet in person all those he cared enough to learn about.  I will miss you greatly my friend - Bob
