I went to school with dorothy and always thought she was the smartest person I ever met. Didn't see her for years as I traveled a lot and then one day I saw her walking by my apartment and said hello. We talked a little and I would see her from time to time. Then I started working at TRIPS and would pick her up and sometimes her son dennis. We would catch up on what was going on in our worlds and then I would drop her off. Sometimes I would see her walking and offer her a ride. I enjoyed our chats and walk down memory lane. I will miss her but the lord will enjoy her chats too.
