Frank and Barbara, I am so sad to hear about Dot's passing! She was a major part of my life while I was growing up -- and beyond -- and I often think of her, and how she brought so much joy and fun into our lives. I'm sorry we lost contact many years ago. Please know that I am thinking of you at this difficult time.
