Mrs. Dobbs was such a nice neighbor when we had our first little house on McCroskey there in Knoxville. We went to school with Betty and her daughter Ginger and our son Jim, played together the two years we lived there. We are now living in Northern Virginia as does our son and daughter in law. We often talked and wondered about the family. Our sympathies are with you all.
