               m. John Edward Walker  1911-1995

Dorothy and John lived for many years at Pendleton, Oregon, where John was an attorney and Dorothy a social worker.  They retired to Sequim, Washington, and had wonderful times with their family. 

Dorothy writes:  My life isn't the same without John, of course, but I'm doing really Oklahoma  It's surprising what you can do when you have to.  I seem to be as busy as I want to be.  I work two full days at our hospital guild thrift shop where the profits go to our local fire department, Port Angeles hospital, scholarships for students going into some form of medical treatment or care.  We've contributed half a million dollars at present to the fire department and hospital so we're right proud of our accomplishments.  I belong to three bridge groups.  These, along with my church activities, keep me quite involved.  I always have knitting projects and other handwork, do crossword puzzles and lots of reading.  We have our annual family get-together every Thanksgiving on the Oregon coast.  We started this when John and I had our 50th wedding anniversary and have continued every year since. Our numbers are dwindling since grandchildren are often unable to be there, but the rest of us persevere and always have a wonderful time.  They have all been really good and attentive to me so I feel blessed.
