I remember when Dorthy lived at the end of the road on the plantation across the bayou from Belle Rose. I visited and stayed there once in a while when I was dating Ruth Ann Montecino (her sister) whose father of course was Edward. She lived across the street from my uncles grocery store in D'ville and I vivited her there once. A truly beautiful person.
