For several years Dora Mae was employed as a cook for the school lunch program. She has won blue ribbons with her beautiful crochet work. Many of her creations have been of her own pattern and design. At the Senior Center she enjoyed friendships, making ceramics, and discovering her artistic talent with paint and brush.
