My aunt Dottie- my mom's younger sister- was born and raised during the Great Depression on a farm in Wilkes County, NC and while times where hard for everyone during those years it instilled in her the values that sustained her through life. Dottie was hard working, dedicated, loyal and loving to family and friends and she made you a better person for knowing her.
When I was a boy I spent several summers with her at her home outside Columbia SC where I experienced many firsts: First horse back ride, first trip to Hilton Head- where at the time there was only the beach and a bath house- , first and only time eating frog legs and many others.
She subscribed to Boy's Life magazine and had it sent to me at my home in High Point ,NC and stirred my interest in stamp collecting by saving and sending me interesting stamps from correspondence that passed through her workplace. I no longer have the copies of Boy's Life but I do have the stamps and the sand dollars I found at Hilton Head and even more importantly the memories.
She was a UNIQUE and SPECIAL person.
With much love , your nephew Kenneth.
