UNITED WAY

It’s just anoth

Luncheons

Sunday Brunch

By PEGGIE ROWAND

Dorothy Pearson bought me lunch last

Dorothy has a lively mind, a gentle. warm
sense of humor and a thousand stories to tell
— some funny, some sad.

But it’s unlikely she would dwell long on
the negative aspects of life; for Dorothy, at
75,.is upbeat. positive and practical. That’s °
how she comes to be working as a volunteer
for United Way.

1979 she helped canvass the business com-
munity; this year her job is to follow up on

“mailer lists and jog the memories: of those
who gave last year and forgot this time
around,

For Dorothy, 2404 Amelia, Sidney; it’s
