Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Pegg, you wrote about the man in Druid Hill Park with the saxophone. I was in the park with a little extra time on Sunday and was thinking about what you written so I drove around. The park was beautiful as you described it.
And then there he was, over on a park bench, by himself, dressed "boldly"...playing his saxophone.
It is a beautiful memory I will not soon forget thanks to you and your mom.

Dorothy lived on the third floor of the St. Charles at Charlestown and I am on the fourth floor. We used to meet her at 4:30 on Sundays to take the shuttle over to the Chesapeake for dinner. Two things were at her core: her former career as Nursing Supervisor at St. Agnes, and her loving family. One example: at Christmas, they would arrange to take her out to dinner and when they got back, the Christmas decorations were up just the way she liked them. Same thing when the holidays were over. Dorothy was a gem, and her family treated her like one! I was happy to call this dear lady my friend. Signed: Anne Donaldson
