I met Dorothy when we were freshmen at Houghton College. We were housemates and immediately became fast friends. There was a hazing of sorts conducted by the upperclassmen and it was during one of those events that Gary met Dorth and he was smitten. They soon became a couple. We had lots of good times and memories during that year. The next year we did become roommates and in Nov 1963 JFK was killed. Televisions were in short supply at the college and Dorth and I went to her home in Buffalo and spent the weekend watching the world event. I transferred to another school and we kept in touch for a few years but eventually life took us in different directions. Last Fall I was traveling in Michigan and went by Coldwater and wondered if she still lived there. When I got home I did a search and found her. We reconnected and caught up on all that had happened over the years. We got together in early December and had a fun weekend in Shippshwana, IN and traveled up to Coldwater where I was able to see Gary and meet Danice and her family. With the new year I moved to NC and we chatted here and there. She was looking forward to the Alaska cruise and celebrating their anniversary. Last week after I got out of a meeting, I checked my phone and her name was on the caller id and I was happy she had called. I then listened to the voicemail and it was Gary telling me about the accident. I am glad that we reconnected and shared that fun weekend. My thoughts and prayers are with Gary and the family. She was well loved and I will miss her.
