Dorothy Mae Bramlett

Dorothy was a beautiful soul. I first met her in 1950 in South Haven the small black community southwest of Tulsa. We endured the struggles in this place, its shortcoming and the social struggles as they were. We remained friends for a lifetime and a conversation with Dorothy was a lesson in the history of life as we saw and experienced it. I looked forward to her calls and long conversations as well. I miss her terribly and no one will replace her smile and crisp voice in my life. I had a special kind of love for Dorothy. May she rest in peace. Washington Rucker.
