Welcome to the Home Page of Doug and Erynn Rathburn!

Apr. 2008: I had the opportunity to visit India for work and a group of us headed to the Taj Mahal on our off day. View the photo album.

Feb. 2008: Erynn and I headed down to the Riviera Maya with our friends MJ & Christine, Mike & Melissa and Dave & Megan. View the photo album.

The trip down memory lane continues. I've finally created a photo album of our trip to Paris in 2000. Highlights include how I proposed to Erynn and our train adventure getting to Versailles.

I recently bought a negative scanner. Yes, I need help. Anyway, I dug out a bunch of old photos to scan in order to update some of the photos albums a bit. You can now see some more photos from when my folks came over to England to visit in 2002.

Aug '07 FINALLY! I've gotten around to creating a photo album for our trip to Munich and Salzburg during the 2007 World Rowing Championships. You can access the album HERE.

Nov 25 '07 Erynn and I drove to my folk's house in Ohio for Thanksgiving and we brought the grand puppies. Here they are cuddling on the couch together and Buckley with my dad.

Oct 28 '07 Erynn's celebrating our third place finish (i.e. DFL) in the mixed master double event at the Head of the Lafayette Regatta in Norfolk, Virginia. This was our first race in our new Pocock double and the new boat performed great. Unfortunately, it was the old folks behind the oars that slowed it down. The weather was a bit windy on the tideway, but we had a good time with the other club members from Raleigh.

Sept 7 '07 We adopted another beagle named Cupcake, and she's a real sweetheart.

More updates to come...

Aug 25 '07 Erynn and I headed up to Norfolk, Virginia to race in the Botanical Garden Sprints. We raced in the mixed double and mixed four events. Erynn rowed with me in the double and coxed the four. We traveled to the race with some friends from the Raleigh Rowing Center, Sue, Lauren and Jim. Jim and Lauren finished second in the mixed double while Erynn and I finished third. Above you can see Erynn and Lauren showing off their ribbons. In the mixed four, Lauren, Sue, Jim and myself took first place against three other crews!

I'm finally getting around to updating this site with our recent exploits from the last couple months. Keep checking back often.

May 12: Erynn and I took the Elise to the Herbert Hoover NHS, which is just over an hour from our home in Dubuque. The weather was perfect and we even got a sun tan (burn) with the top off. I've now posted a photo album from the day HERE

May 7: Our offer for a house in North Carolina was accepted! Erynn took this photo with the "SOLD" sign out front. It's a new-build in Cary that's right between our work and the local rowing club.

Nov. 12, '05: Our other baby (besides Buckley) has finally arrived. It was a good week in the Rathburn household. After a year of waiting, our new Lotus Elise arrived! Click here for more info about our car...

After graduating from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business in June 2005, Doug got a job with John Deere in Iowa. In June 2007, Doug got a transfer to Deere's Cary, North Carolina office and Erynn got a job with Duke University's Hospital as a kidney transplant coordinator.
