I´m so sorry to hear of "Dottie´s" passing. I worked as a high school student in the Chester C. Corbin Public Library with her and she was such a sweet person! The children loved her! She was kind and adorable, and always so well-dressed. It was always a pleasure to work with her. I´m so sorry for the family´s loss, and may her name always be for blessing.
