Yet Another Splash for our Special Wave
Winding down on a wonderful year that’s seen a whirlwind of activities celebrating Dottie Roberge’s 104th birthday and her 80th anniversary of enlistment as a Navy WAVE (which has always been a highlight among her memories), December 9 brought her yet another special honor and joy: Angelina Roffo, a student from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, paid Dottie a visit on her way back from a group activity in Boston. Angelina presented Dottie with a Navy blanket and Dottie shared memories with her, after which the two women gave each other a Navy salute.
Watching the Army-Navy game the next day, Dottie was cozy with her new blanket and with thoughts of her new friend Angelina, as social media surrounding the game lit up with Dottie’s name and with tributes to the service of the WAVES.
