Dorothy met her future husband, Landis "Landy" Scott while roller skating at the Palomar Roller Rink in Milwaukee, on December 6, 1941, the night before Pearl Harbor was bombed. Shortly thereafter, Landy was drafted into the Army Air Corps. The two lovebirds reunited and married in Denver Colorado on June 2, 1943. With Landy still in the service, they started a family in Clovis, New Mexico where Landy was stationed (Clovis AFB).
