Douglas Anderson (1952-2007) worked for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration for 28 years, where he received recognition for research. During his career he traveled around the world, including Australia, Iceland, Brazil, Chile and South Africa. In 1986, Doug was awarded the Gold Medal, NOAA's highest honor, for his heroic efforts along with two others in risking their lives in preventing a shipmate and colleague from drowning. This act of heroism occurred in the presence of a rip current created by horrendous surf.
