To the Blackwell Family - I send my sincere sympathy to you all. Dorcus was nine yrs older, but I do remember her. I know you are proud of her accomplishments. My brothers (Dick, Lloyd & Gene)and I fondly remember our childhood at Sandy Hook visiting back and forth with you all. (I have spoken often of how your mother baked a layer of cake batter, serving it hot from the oven, and I loved it.) May your memories comfort you now.
