DIXIE LEE STONE

I had the pleasure of being part of the Innis family for years. Dixie was a gentle soul, so kind to all.....the world could use more people like Dixie .

I remember Dixie Lee from the Calgary Safety Roundup. I never met her but I never forgot her. She was a few years older than me, I remember that. I was impressed by her and the others who were performing 'ON TV!' As teenagers, my friends and I all liked the movie Billy Jack.
