Doug was born at Gunnison Valley Hospital on Nov. 21, 1950, to Gerald and Beth Ann Willden. He attended public school in Sparks, Nevada, and completed one year at the University of Nevada, Reno. Doug spent the summers of 1963 through 1966 working with his g ra n d p a r e n t s Ken and Orpha Whitlock and his uncle Glen Whitlock to help them with their farm and cattle. His summers in 1967 and 1968 were spent working for Willden Winch Livestock on their Wah Wah Ranch in Western Utah.
