“It was lovely out (80), so I took off my coat and walked down 63rd. There were loads of people. I noticed a guy following me and shortly he struck up a conversation. His name is Don Trotta. He's discharged from the army, is 21, and looks like Ray Milland.”

I found Dominic Trotta. He was born September 11th, 1924 and died April
14th, 1996. I have a feeling this is the Dominic Trotta that Dot went out with.
