Read the book, Ray,....It is all clearly explained in Chapter 2!

[Barbara]

These are a few shots of Doris and her Band days with Les Brown. I just got my copy of Mike's book late yesterday. What I have read so far you can really sense Mike's deep love and affection for this wonderful lady. You feel like you not only learn a lot about Doris but feel like you know Mike as well. Thanks Mike for showing such honor and devotion to this wonderful lady. I know Doris will love it also. ♥

Thank you, Bryan for uploading my pictures. I love how you have made the boarder to this one. It made it quite classy Mike I made this one just for you...thank you for suggesting my picture to Bryan. I haven't read your book yet, but I will soon. I chose this picture thinking that she would have been about that age when you first saw her Good thing I was right!! I'm also interested in knowing where this photo was taken! I randomly found it on google.

Best,
Christie

Christie...this banner is awesome. Great Job!!! It's very classy.

Mike you do seem very devoted to Doris, so please check out rumors that the people in charge at Overlook may be controlling Doris for their own benefits. Hope it is not true but check it out if you can and prevent it. Nothing like that should be happening at this stage of the game. Can't wait to read your book!

I never heard of something like that...Ray...I do hope it is not true,, only rumours...

[Lauren Benjamin]

Who are these people at Overlook? That's sort of a strong statement to make. I believe that it is written and approved by Doris that the couple who are working for her will stay at the house when Doris passes on. They will stay there and take care of any remaining animals until the last animal has died and then they must move.

My guess is that Doris arranged that so that her dogs will not be put into a kennel or be adopted out to who knows who. I think Doris sounds like she is thinking clearly with the recent release of her CD. I'd like to think that she's still in control.

Thank you very much dear Lauren..you made my Day..Thank you again

[Daisy June]

I think Doris is doing just fine these days. Not to worry.

thank you,,,,

[webmaster]

Don't start spreading rumours, Ray!

Again, this is an area we should stay out of - publicly at least - as it concerns Doris' private life.

Glad she's doing fine - for a lady of a certain age, she has to be an inspiration.

She is...most definetly

[JMoore]

Love the banner Christie!

[ray]

Bryan i do not spread rumors, many times in the past I have alerted Doris of rumors and once she even sent me a thank you card, Someone close to her told me these things and I hope they are wrong because i certainly want Doris to be Happy at her age, maybe the person was slighted by Doris and her staff and is venting. Doris sounds wonderful via phone all this year. If this were true to just do nothing is correct? And that story of the couple taking care of Doris's estate was from a tabloid story. No more news from me because I always end up the bad guy!

Don't be silly - if you give it out, you have to learn to take it back. You know we try to not get too personal when talking about Doris. But it's not the end of the world! No one thinks you're a bad guy - just the guy who danced with Doris and has been dancing ever since!

[ray]

If Martin Melcher knew who Doris would be hanging with today he would be turning over in his grave!

[Lauren Benjamin]

I do think that Bryan has to put something in writing so as not to allow a conversation about Doris' personnel trying to take advantage of her. It's the right thing to do. And really, as fans, what can we do anyway but worry.

Given Doris' age and the fact that so little about her life comes from her camp, one wonders sometimes about he well being. I have to rely on her voice, her mood, memory and interactions with interviewers. That's all I have.

Lauren

[ray]

Don't worry Laureen I am sure she is fine. I will flip my Doris day wig if she is not!!LOL Next they will have her smokeing and appearing live on Ellen!!!

[ray]

Lauren and I should take a road trip to Overlook posing as butch cable guys and scoop Doris up in the truck!! But what do we do with her then? Maybe things are better as they are?? Que Sera for sure

[webmaster]

Doris is more than able to take care of herself - I don't think anyone would dare to tell her what to do!

[puck]

Love the new banner Bryan, and can't wait to read your book Mike.

[webmaster]

Thanks Puck and looking forward to using some of your banners soon.

[Calico]

She sure sounds good in all of her interviews. The number of staff to take care of that big estate is quite a task; I can't imagine, but it is nothing new to her.

[mikeydv]

When I talked to Doris in May, she said everything was going very well and she is doing "JUST GREAT". She had just come from the doctor's that day and left with a great report.\

To Puck: Thanks...and let me know what you think of it.
