Dodd was my housemate in Des Moines in 1978 and we have remained friends since then. We often enjoyed Chicago Blues shows in DSM. His beekeeping days were fun for him and interesting to me. RAGBRAI trips and support were a summer delight as were shady backyard gatherings at the 2nd Ave. house. Love to Donna and your family. Arnie and Gail. Taos, New Mexico.
