So sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. She was certainly the epitome of what a great secretary should be. When my kids were little, and visited the station, Dorothy would set them on her lap at her desk, taking their tiny fingers and showing them how to type their names. She always made sure they left with handfuls of candy.
I will always remember her “Stillers” and :Yins” in her “Pittsburgheese and the ruler she kept in her desk drawer that she would “threaten to smack our hands with” when we got out of line. She was a wonderful lady and a great co-worker. She made out job easier with her ability and efficiency in her job. May God bless her and her family. Our condolences and prayers.
