NOTE: Molly Schecter, a youthful & beautiful 86 year old, owned
and operated Dobkins Pub on 8th Street, near the Barracks, from
1956 to 1966.  During those years, she befriended many 8th & I
Marines (the word is that some still owe her money).  She LOVES
and is LOVED BY many former 8th & I Marines.  Molly is a special
lady!
