Dorothy and Leonard did everything together. Both loved to fish, camp, snowmobile, ride 4-wheelers, garden, horseback ride and spend time with family and their many friends. Dorothy was known to say, "Leonard caught the most fish, but I caught the biggest." They traveled to Alaska and Hawaii with their best friends. Dorothy's CB handle was "Sawbuck", given to her by Leonard, whose CB handle was "Crosscut". He would call her on his CB radio from the boat to tell her to get dinner ready, and she would.
