Don remembers Dorothy Parker from his Antioch school days.  She was the daughter of John and Ruby Parker.  Her brothers are: Danny, Robert (Bob, who was married to Janet Cookson and Velda Winn-Fear), Kenneth, and Bill (who was known for his western swing band).

Didn't Danny Parker marry Janet Patrick? She was in our class.

If my memory hasn't slipped too bad, I believe it was Steven Parker that Janet Patrick married.  Steven was the son of Kenneth.

For additonal info on Danny's family, please see the posting on the General Announcements board regarding Evan S. Parker dated February 3, 2006.
