Mama Dot in words and pictures

This is the last post of Mama Dot's Family Photos. It is appropriately photos of Mama Dot and the first section of Rhinoceros Hills a video of the history of Loon Island written by her son David S. Warren and read by Mama Dot (Rhinoceros Hills video). Whether you remember her voice or possibly, like me, have never heard her voice, it will add to who she is in these photos from her life and in the 2000 photos contained on this blog. She photographed these all as slides and they are here for you to enjoy.

This new photo was recently posted on FaceBppl by Valerie Warren White


Once upon a time Mama Dot, was Dorothy Failing... Born on July 7, 1906

Mama gets married to Ernest Warren






























Left to Right: Dad, Davey, Herbie, Mama Dot, Delight and the center of attention... Baby Valerie. The photo was taken sometime shortly after September 29th and for the year you better ask Valerie, we don't want to give away her age.

On vacation in St. Thomas. 
The only way you can tell she's
getting older is the color of her hair!
And on Mama Dot's and Ernest' 50th wedding anniversary they look as much in love as that picture
