I first remember my sister during my elementary school years. Dorothy was six years ahead of me in school, so I have very little memory of that time. I do remember when Dorothy attended High School as I have related previously. Dorothy “Dot” always had a great sense of humor and we still have hilarious moments to this day! We have always been close. When Dot went to High School she would hang out with her friends at a place called “Hoddys”. I think it was a place like you would see on the “Happy Days” TV show. I am sure she has great memories of those times. I really missed my sister when she went to college. After college Dot wound up in Philadelphia living with roommates from Immaculata College. There she met John “Pete” Byrne. They married in November 1963 when I was a Freshmen at UVM. Their wedding was a great time with many relatives, friends, and neighbors in attendance! Unfortunately, President Kennedy was assassinated a few days later. Dot and Pete had three children: Gregory, Kevin, and Brenden. Gregory and Sherry Byrne have one daughter named MichaelAnn. Kevin and Kelly Byrne have two daughters: Lily and Rosie. Brenden Byrne and Kirstin Job Byrne have one daughter, Anika. The Byrnes lived in a beautiful home in Springfield PA. Pete had a successful career with the State of Delaware and Dot also had a great job as a lab tech at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. The Nefzgers and the Byrnes would go to Holden Beach NC most every summer and have a great time! Charlotte and Dot became great friends over the years to this day. Pete and John were also buddies. Unfortunately, Pete passed away in September 2007. Dot is now retired. Greg and Brenden are both Country Club mangers with emphasis on Golf Course and infrastructure responsibilities. Kevin is a production manager at Fox News in New York City. He has covered political conventions and other high profile events. Our respective families have had many great times together over the years.
