Anderson, Dorothy
Girlfriend, major character


It was hard to determine how much of Shep's story telling was fact or fiction. He often told stories involving dates with Dorothy Anderson. One such show involved going to the races and seeing the famous Whirlawy. Dorothy was real and they actually dated for a period of time writing each other while Shep was in the Army and so was her brother Johnny.

01-07-65 - A Day at the Races
