enjoying life
As a young child of a single mother in DC in the '50s, John & Dorrie were like my aunt and uncle. My mom worked for Herblock at the POST and I have fond memories of being at their small apt. over the DOOR STORE on M street. They were both gentle and caring people who made me feel valued. We moved from DC in '65, but in the past few years I was able to visit with John occasionally and valued his upfront, no nonsense take on life. I will miss him.
