Dot and Lee were next door neighbors for 50 years. I remember neighborhood picnics, trips to "the river" with their boat, weekends in their cabin, playing pool in their garage, sitting in their backyard listening to Dodger games, and of course, 4th of July parties. Great, great neighbors.
Thanks for the awesome memories.
