I remember...being told by my Mom that Dorothy, born prematurely, was too weak to suckle and she was fed with an eyedropper at birth. I remember...as a pre-schooler, visiting Dot's family. Dorothy and her friends took me to the basement where there was a huge carton filled with old clothes, hats, shoes and they introduced me to "dress up". Dot's strength in dealing with her illness and her family's loving care of her have been an inspiration to me.
