Dave and Sue Dorsey have been volunteering at HCC’s courtside cafe’ for the past 17yrs. In that span of time Dave and Sue along with other volunteers at the cafe have managed to raise over 450,000 dollars in scholarship money for HCC’s athletes.

Although their dedication to HCC is an accomplishment that is not easily bested, their altruistic feat  is easily overshadowed by an achievement of much higher distinction. On February 25th 2010 Dave and Sue Dorthy celebrated their 59th anniversary! May you have 59 more!

Dave and Sue Dorsey, Married 59 years.
