Doug and Elaine moved their family to Grand Forks, North Dakota, in February of 1956. Doug appeared nightly at the Dakotah Hotel over the next 5 years and also made numerous radio and TV appearances.

Doug loved to hunt and fish. He spent many summers guiding friends and family on Lake of the Woods in his boat "River Bend" and became known to many of his fellow fisherman as the "Organ Grinder", his CB call sign.
