I didn't know Dottie personally, but got to know this remarkable lady through her daughter-in-law and friend of mine, Betty Linn. Dottie was loved so very much by her family and was most fortunate to have them and her Binghamton friends by her side throughout her life. Peace and prayers to all of Dottie's friends and particularly to her loving family.
