I was truly saddened when I woke up this morning and saw the text message on my phone from Hiphipahula about Dottie. I never chatted up much with her but I sat next to her at the bar many many times. She was very sweet and a well mannered lady. Everyone in the bar always offered to help her down from the bar stool and out if she needed it. She was a very small lady.

She was a welcome fixture and the place will not seem the same.

I second the motion: she should be remembered either in the Loyal Order of the Drooling Bastard or with a photo plaque on the wall. Perhaps Jeremy could make sure her bar stool is left vacant every day from 4 to 6 in remembrance (maybe with a reserved sign). Like Nick's does in Beverly Hills for Dean Martin...to this day.

I think I will go to Tonga Hut tonight and raise a glass to Dottie.

She will be missed by all of us Tongans!!
