Her newsletters sought to educate UFCA members about issues that affected them, and encouraged them to write to their representatives, attend meetings, or take other action to maintain a high quality of life in the area through some difficult times. She was also active in St. Teresa's Rosary Society, the Girl Scouts, and other community organizatons, as well working as Vice President and Treasurer of Datamovers, lnc., an air mail expediting and messenger company started by her husband in 1954. A few years ago Dorothy and her daughter Patricia participated in the Queens Memory Project. The resulting audio recordings are preserved in the Library of Congress. (Crowley)
