DEDICATION
Tribute to a "Lady"
The death of Dorothy Hubbell on April 30, 1993, truly marked the passing of an era. Within the pages of this document one will catch only glimpses of her wit, business acumen, tenacity, and style. She truly left her mark — every bit a Lady!!
— John Cook, Regional Director, Southwest Region
"We are not dealing with a normal situation at Hubbell Trading Post. It is an island in the middle of the vast Navajo Reservation so that every move we make is complicated.... Everything we touch has an angle to it, most of them without precedent." [1]
