It was with great regret that we recently heard of the death of Dorothy Baron of Gatehouse-of-Fleet after a long illness. Dorothy was one of the founder members of the Branch in 1997, and a great supporter ever since. She was a lovely lady, with a great sense of humour, and we will sorely miss her. She was a great cat lover, and had two adored Siamese cats, one of which died a while ago, while Tilly had to be put to sleep a few months before Dorothy's death. Two of us went to her funeral, which was very moving, and we would like to offer our commiserations to her family.
