Connecicut connection
I have to relay this interview. I had Ewee and Tyler for dinner the other nite, wee mows my lawn for me. I invited Dottie. We had a fine dinner together and great consversation. I posed the second question on the blog to Dottie. She has heard the whole story of the "Water for Elephants" from me. Her response to question #2 was precious. Here is an 87 year old woman, can't see the food on her plate, with seriouis dementia, telling me her opinion of herself looking into the Jacob's mirror. Her response, I"M STILL A DOVER ROAD GIRL! She goes on to say...her gang..Dick Royal, Pat Price, Dick Virgie, Joyce O'connel, Anne Murray, Freddie Coriel, and Dot. ( Thats good for a person with dementia) She ,being the leader of the Dover Road Gang. They played baseball in the streets forever. She said the neighbor woman, who 's daughter didn't want to be included, always called the police when , the gang, played ball in the streets. The same policeman would arrive and whisper to the kids, stop playing in the streets until after I leave: then commence playing in the streets. She indicated things changed when the boys wanted to play a kissing game. YaHoo. At this point she said her attitude changed, she wanted the boys to be the leader. WOW...what hormones won't do . In conclusion..she is a woman I admire for her POSITIVE spirit. Her mirror says she's still got it at 87. Craig.
