From Fred Field (June '45) of CA - 02/28/10, 9:24 AM - "Obit.":
Hello Carol, Sunday, Feb. 28, 10
In the NN Daily Press today is the obituary for
Dorothy Boswick Greenman, NNHS Class of 1948.
I remember her as the sweet-natured younger sister of my Classmate Marjorie
Boswick Michael. Marjorie and I went all through school together from first
grade at Woodrow Wilson, then
Walter Reed, and finally
NNHS graduation in June 1945.

She was born May 10, 1931, to Guy Weston Boswick and Alice Juiliette Ward in Norfolk, Va. The family then moved to Newport News where Dot graduated from Newport News High School in 1948. She attended Longwood College and graduated in 1952 with a BS in Elementary Education. After briefly teaching school, she married Bill, with whom she raised a family and worked as partner and bookkeeper in their home building and remodeling business. Dot was the nucleus of her family who instilled a sense of honesty, compassion, integrity and tolerance in her children and grandchildren. She was a devoted friend to many and mentor to her children's peers. Her determination to promote fairness, responsibility and respect touched all who knew her. A longtime resident of Hampton, Dot sailed the Chesapeake Bay with her husband and family aboard their schooner Laura Ellen. They participated in Norfolk's Harborfest, Hampton Bay Days, The Great Schooner Race, and Opsail events in New York and Baltimore. She was an avid reader who enjoyed gardening, tennis and bridge. She had a great love of animals, supported many charities and volunteered her time to help others. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, March 4, 2010, at St. John's Episcopal Church, in Hampton, and will be officiated by the Rev. Donna Mae Siderius. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. John's Episcopal Church, 100 West Queen's Way, Hampton, VA 23669; or to the Animal Aid Society, 8 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA 23666.

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
Words by Edward Hopper
Music by John E. Gould, 1871
Jesus Savior, pilot me over life's tempestous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll, hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass came from Thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will, when Thou say'st to them "Be still!"
Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
When at last I near the shore and the fearful breakers roar,
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest; then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee."
