I was going through some papers I had from Dorothy's friend Phyllis and found a picture of them both. I will try and get it loaded on here. I knew Dorothy and Dan(D2Z2) for many years as I did her nails and used to talk with Dorothy after she moved into the retirement facility. I also spoke to her several times at the last(?)group facility she was at. I miss the old days and fun times.

Dorothy was one of the best volunteers I knew at the zoo, I have some lovely memories of that smiling face.
