Not sure what to say?

Donna and Diane, my condolences on the passing of your mother Dorothy. I first met her at Karamu House in 1993 at a Tuskegee Airmen meeting and subsequently did an exhibit on the Airmen featuring the image of Dorothy next to her plane. I subsequently worked with Diane on the "I Could Stop on a Dime.." exhibit and production at Cleveland Playhouse. Your mother was a grand woman and made my life more fulfilling for knowing her. God Bless your family.

Diane and Donna, thank you for sharing with the LE 99s Dorothy's story. She is an inspiration. I wish I could have seen the dance routine that you created in her honor.

Donna and family
So sadden to hear of the loss of your mother. She was an astonishing woman who lived a wonderful life. I know you all will cherish your memories of her.

To the family of my favorite teacher Mrs. McIntyre,
In 1972, Mrs. McIntyre had to leave the room and announced to the class that I was in charge. That was the first time that I can recall being a leader. She also selected me to go to the "Top of the Town" to meet and eat lunch with a top executive from Sears Roebuck & Co. It is an Honor and Privilege to have her as a sixth grade teacher. I am positive that I was her favorite student that year. Condolences is not an appropriate gesture to...

I interviewed Dorothy McIntyre for the International Women's Air and Space Museum back in 1999 or 2000. She told wonderful stories and the tape is in her file at the museum. So glad to capture some of her history and her charm.
Fly well, Dorothy
