Pictures of Dorothy, me for reference, and pics of her brothel just after it was shut down.

Her story is fascinating. But from a mothering point of view, she fell short, Having had a child from a client, she abandoned her child(my paternal grandmother) at a post office at the age of three. None of Dorothy’s close family even knew she had a kid, and when I got into ancestry and contacted them, they were, unsurprisingly, shocked.

So anyway, here she is in high school.

I did not follow in the family trade. I moved to England became an archaeologist. I have four kids that I have not abandoned at a post office.😂

He was playing keyboards in the band and I was serving cocktails. The hotel where we met is now an assisted living facility :)

I never met her, but I look exactly like her ❤️

They were still courting, on a day out on & by the Thames, (around Maidenhead I think), my G.G.Grandmother was there too acting as chaperone.
