I have heard only good things about Doug. AND I went to Lakewood Hi School with him. He was even a good guy back then. Good luck Doug.

tireless efforts of the reasoned mind
of the good Mr.Otto.

I am a court interpreter who had the privilege of working with Doug Otto at the Long Beach Courthouse. Our community college is most definitely fortunate to have him.

I would question your lack of accurate facts Rich, Doug did not go Lakewood High, but Millikan, class of '66. Doug is a "good guy" however, at least you got that right.

Doug Otto is, and always has been, a class act. A scholar and a gentleman.
