Graduation Year	Class of 1972
Date of Passing	May 19, 2017
About	January 20, 1954 to May 19, 2017 Doug left the LaPorte area in his early 20's and headed to Terlingua, Texas. He had seven siblings. It is possible that he was the class of 1973 but we could not establish this. He lived as a survivalist and was known as the borderline pseudo psychiatrist who ran the largest open air insane asylum from The Porch at the Terlingua Trading Post where he combined mental health therapy and medicine for a small fee. He was also featured in a film "The Badlands" by National Geographic. He is survived by his older brothers, Jon and Donald Blackmon and by his twin sisters, Karyn Blackmon Trigg and Gale Blackmon Carrington (all LaPorte graduates).
