Mac-Do Lodge inspired many young girls to become strong young women; Miss Dottie was Mac-Do. We thank her and honor her memory.

I am so sorry to hear of Miss Dottie's passing. I loved Mac-Do Lodge and fondly remember how Miss Dottie would play little tricks on us -- I can still see her twinkling eyes and devilish grin! She was a great teacher (I was both a camper and a Counselor in Training)-- strict, demanding, yet so caring -- and a fine human being.
