A former United States Marine, Robert Dorsey. Robert Dorsey creates: CABIN WATCH, Fine Time Wear. Born into the Dorsey family, November 18, 1960, to Sidney and Dorothy Dorsey, of West Philadelphia, Pa.

 Robert grew up with older brother's, and sister.  

Most of his life start with them closes'.

It is remembered, on the old block, that once stood the most heavenly trees. The kid, in 1969, playing in the streets of West Philadelphia, Pa. He always said that he was going to Vietnam. Robert, like many kids of the era, would play theatrical war games in front of there houses.

The battle field was the entire block, and, around the corners of Pine and Spruce Street. Robert played with his friends, Eric, Vincent, Jimmy, Bartan, Matthew, Keith, and Kenney. The Marines, is what Robert and his friends call there daily war games.

  

 The war in South East Asia, was at it's height by 1969. My brother was getting ready to graduate from high school, my other brother was already in the service, since 1966. It seemed like, he'd never get out of there. In fact, there is where it all started for Robert Dorsey.

My brother, Sidney Dorsey 3rd. The shine on his jump boots lead me to my dream, and dedications, since 1969. There was Philadelphia's...., the Uptown heater, the Four Tops, Diana Ross and the Supreme's. There were Proms, and and beautiful Young ladies courted by my brother's. There were house parties and dances, like the Mickies-Monkey, Stroll, and the Cha-cha...., don't forget the Crossfire to.
 Hi-lit, Georgey Woods, Jerry Blavet, and Dick Clark. The Wild Wood days, were still wild on the board walk. Civil Rights protest and Dr. Martin L. King. These were all apart of Robert's development growing up, and character. There was only observing the glamour and styles of my siblings day.


 

Most of what I wrote above, in the last paragraph, truly should be dedicated to my one sister, Ava j. Dorsey.

Ava, who also, was an Influence, largely in my preteen years. She always had a way of guiding me... without me recognizing it to be.. She may have saved me from foolish judgments of my past, and in my younger adult years. My Mother was that way to.

It was Ava, who really got into the know of her era, the 1960's. She was always on top with styles, latest dance steps
I remember her for that time, staying in with the times. Over the years, you could see and feel styles changing. Ava in my eyes, was the poster teenager of a black girl for the 1960's.



Like the kids from Washing D.C. with the popular dance shows like Teenarama. for Ava, it was the Steel prier show on the board walk,in Atlantic City and the Uptown in Philadelphia, Pa.

By 1973, all television shows, black and white were a thing of the past. Now, television was in colour, and, some guy name Neil Armstrong, walked on the moon. By 1979, Robert graduated from John Bartram High School, in Philadelphia,  Pa.
