Dora Martinez LaRue

I am sitting here thinking about those times and how funny Dora was and beautiful and cannot think of a single moment when she wasn't gracious and wonderful.  I also think of that trip and all of the things we tried to get away with and how we laughed.  I think the soldiers watching out for us were glad when we left because we kept them on their toes for sure.  Tropical Knights was a rascally bunch and we were egged on by our illustrious leader, the unique,BILL, Mr. Martinez?.   He is the first grown up that asked us to call him by his first name I think.  I bet there were not many groups like that around.  I cannot think of anything that ever surpassed those times.  I hope Dora had some smiles remembering too while she was ill.  Those are the kinds of memories that give some relief in tough times. I am quite certain Dora knew she was loved by all of us.
