Dolores "Dee" Kellett
Born and raised in Lafayette, Dolores Kellett, standing, third from right in the picture, was a star pitcher in local, regional and national girls’ softball leagues.
For 12 years, Miss Kellett’s prowess as a hurler made her a regular in the sports pages of the Denver newspapers. With Dolores on the mound, the King Supers five times qualified for the world series of girls’ softball. Injury forced her into early retirement, upon which she became a competitive bowler.
Her home was originally just two rooms and was located on East Chester Street. It was moved in 1935 and a porch removed and another two rooms were added. In 1948, an indoor bathroom was added.
