Yes, Brenda Lee is alive, well, and still performing! This site came to life with the loss of a long-time friend, Dale Dohse. He was a huge fan of Brenda Lee, and so was I a fan of her and that decade (fifties). We began our friendship when we both crossed the picket line in the '70s to work for the Omaha World-Herald. Yes, scabs we both were ... hungry scabs, who needed work. Once we realized how much we had in common, our friendship began. And, who knew, that one day I would be 'keeper of the gate', so to speak. His lifemate chose to pass some of Dale's most treasured possessions, and lifetime collection of trivia, with the majority being of or about Little Miss Dynamite, Brenda Lee! Photos have been taken by Brenda's fans, Dale, his friends and family, or me. If anyone objects to any of these uploads, please contact me. |
"The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke.
I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me." ~Brenda Lee
When I started this website, I was unsure what direction it would take once I had everything scanned and in place paying homage to my long-time friend, Dale Dohse, and a way to also share his fifties/sixties music and movie memorabilia, especially his Brenda Lee collections.
Last year another long-time friend, Dean Arnold, passed away. The passions Dean and I had in common were photography, trains, and travel. He was a professional, and I an amateur, but lover of The Arts.
Do you have a memory of Dean you'd like to share? Contact me; I'd love to hear them!

'Bygone Times' speaks to passing moments of our lives.
Once this moment passes, it is 'bygone'; by gosh, by golly, and bygone!
