Two photos sit side by side -- one of Dot in black and white and one of Cookie in color. Dot sits on a chair with one leg propped up, a striped dress on, and short, curly dark hair. In the second photo, Cookie stands in a light pink button-up blouse and white shorts in front of the original facade of Dot's Back Inn, which is white brick with a striped dark green awning. Cookie has dark hair cut just above her shoulders. She's smiling.
