I didn’t know Mrs. Rousch, but I knew a waitress named Dorothy Rossow, who was 
there through my graduation.

Yes that was she, or is it her? Whatever. I remember the time Roger Chard 
wanted some more spaghetti and she brought over a full bowl of it and sat it on 
the table in front of Roger. He reached for it and knocked it on the floor 
upside down and it looked like someone had puked it and she was off and running 
to the dining room lobby with her hand over her mouth. It looked like a pile of 
worms to me and I was laughing so hard I thought I’d bust. 

We’d ask if she could find us at our table extra Long Johns and other favorite 
deserts and she smuggle them to us guys.

The only houseparent I remember having and Steve remembers her too was Mrs. 
Morrison. I remember her smuggling extra deserts for us. (smile)
