Ralph Dawes writes: “Betty and I got to know Douglas through his visits to Southwick Opera. He was appreciative of the singers in the company and as opera critic at the Daily Telegraph he would write a review of some of Southwick Operas productions which were published in the paper.
Through Betty’s contact with him he agreed to direct Trespass for the Wick.
He was a genuine and likeable person with a keen appreciation of opera and theatre both amateur and professional.
Betty and I visited him in Perth a year or two before his death in 1993.”
