Actually Miss olhuzzy we are very 21st century and very aware of what is really going on. Perhaps if you did some serious studying of the "HIV/AID$" story you would enlighten yourself also

I was fortunate enough to know Doris for several years and hear many of her stories. Absolutely an amazing woman with a great heart. I'm happy she was able to live such of a very full life and again see the Broadway stage so close to the end of her 106 years. May the bluebird of happiness always shine on you too, Doris.
