Dorothy was like my second mom when I was growing up. Loved driving around in her "fat" convertible. She was so much fun to be with. Her beautiful long red hair flowing in the wind. She took Diana and me to San Francisco for Diana's Board Certification and as a treat took us to see Sarah Vaugh on Broadway. She introduced us to "good music". Dorothy and Romie made a beautiful couple.......her beautiful blue eyes and his "to kill for" eye lashes and blue eyes! All 3 of the kids inherited their beautiful eyes. Dorothy, you left me with beautiful memories!
