'Dorothy's no bigger than a minute.' What a beautiful description; I do so admire your writing Pat. I also admire people like Dorothy. You can tell by the electricity that surrounds them when you are in such a presence. They galvanize you.

I also agree with adnohr's suggestion! And this lady reminds me of others I have met casually at our own local library, always helpful, smiling and genteel...

Yes, there are people like that. It's always great to run into one of them now and then, or especially to have always known one.

I love adnohr's suggestion PatB and let her know how many love her that she doesn't even know. We simply respect her accomplishments and her age. That is a beautiful tribute to her and thank you for letting us share in it.

I am with adhnor because this is the loveliest tribute I could read.
So well written that I know this scrap of humanity that has probably done more good in her life than most big names could ever understand....could only patronise. You brought a tear to my eyes and that isn't easy any more.

Print this post and give it to her too, Pat-B. I'm sure it will make her day - it would mine if I was her.
