“My father started bringing me to the Dawes House in the 1960s when I was a kid. I have loved this house ever since.”

“The House had great memories for my dad, who grew up living next door. The moat in the yard was a favorite spot. Gen. Dawes, who was a surrogate parent to him, would help him sail toy boats. He never forgot that kindness.”
