- Quite some months ago now, a woman named Dorothy (don't remember the last name) gave me a generous collection of CDs that her late husband had collected.
I have some things in which I think she may be interested ... if I can get ahold of her again. Please DM me, if possible, Dorothy. Thanks. Don (Nextdoor Eastern Saint Olaf Ave)
