| Dorothy Brandt, A Woman of Action! |
Dorothy Brandt of Colorado, a US Army Veteran of WW II, is married to Captain
John Brandt, USN Retired. Dorothy and John operate a cattle ranch in Southern Colorado. When I hear their name, thoughts
of ACTION go thru my brain. These two can get more done in a week than an average citizen could do in a month. Recall as a
kid how we would choose sides to play a game, I would choose both at the same time to make sure that I was on the Winning
Team. Thanks Dorothy & John for "Your Total Efforts".
