Meet...Dolly
Name:
Dolly Hope.
Department:
Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.How long at MUSC: 5 years.
If you could change careers, what would you be doing: Running a casino in Laughlin, Nev.
How do you stay fit: The divorce diet is fabulous. I didn't eat for a month and lost 80 pounds. So then I went to the gym.
Something people don't know about you: I worked in the travel office for the Department of Treasury under James Baker III; and if I had not sent him to Germany, we would not have had Black Tuesday (Oct. 19, 1987). He went to have a secret meeting with then Germany's chancellor Helmut Kohl to sell his idea of how to head off a stock market crash stemming from a collapse in Japan. Kohl didn't buy it.
How do you feel about a hurricane being named after you: My mom would say, ‘fools' names and fools' faces are often seen in public places.” She wouldn't have approved of my name being everywhere, but I say go for it. Actually, I was a hurricane awhile ago but I petered out before I got going anywhere. I said “darn.”
What quality of a hurricane/tropical storm describes you: Volatile.
