Lake Huron MI ONTARIO NY You can start anywhere you like of course, plan your own trip and stay overnight! What’s in a Name? By Dot Sale, Belmont Do you remember being a child and having to deal with being called a name you were born with, but didn’t really like? My mother used to tell me that her maiden name was Rose Pridmore Hill and her older sister Dorothy used to tease her about it. I didn’t discover where the Pridmore name came from until I got into doing family genealogy and learned that Pridmore was a last name on her father’s mother’s side of the family. My mother told me that she used to retaliate against her sister because her middle name was Gladys by calling her Dorothy Glad ass. I had the misfortune of inheriting her sister’s name as I was about to be born when her sister was dying of tuberculosis, and my mother would get TB as well, but thankfully she would survive it and live another 18 years before passing away. Growing up with my Scottish grandmother while my mother was in a TB sanitarium, I would quickly learn how she pronounced Dorothy when I was downstairs and she wanted me to come upstairs for one reason or another. Let’s just say she could definitely roll that “r” when she needed to. As I got to be a teenager I learned I wasn’t the only one with name challenges. When we had to line up in school for needles for one thing or another, the teacher called out our names with enthusiasm. We knew one girl as Lynn and were surprised to find out that her real name was actually Marilyn. I would later do the same thing when I had the chance to change my name from Dorothy to anything else. There was a neighbour next to us who was named Dorothy too, but preferred being called Dolly like Dolly Parton. I thought about it and decided that I wasn’t a Dolly kind of person, much as I love Dolly Parton myself. It wasn’t until my family and I moved to Belmont in 1993 that I finally got the chance to give myself a new nickname—Dot, about the same time I started writing short stories under my initials, D.A. Sale and tried to get them successfully published, but without success except by self-printing several copies of them for friends. Now that I’m retired in more ways than one, I think about what my mother would say about all my literary efforts. I know I inherited my writing talent from her, but I sadly never got to see any of her work as her father had a crazy idea that women shouldn’t be writers even though several of the greatest women writers including Agatha Christie came from his own country. I’m definitely sure my mother would be pleased, though, along with several other members of my family, and that’s all that counts. Editor’s Note: One of my most favourite people in the world is named Dorothy, and we lovingly call her Gramma Dottie.
