After the war, Docking moved to Arkansas City, Kansas, where he became a successful banker, and was elected mayor.Docking was elected governor in 1966 as a member of the Democratic Party over the incumbent Republican, William Avery, whom Docking harangued for leaving the state when there was work to be done in Kansas. Docking served more terms than any other Kansas governor, but is tied for length of service because of a constitutional amendment approved during his final term which provided that Kansas governors serve four-year terms, and are constitutionally prohibited from running for more than two terms. He was known for his commitment to farmers, small business owners, and the environment.The son of former Gov. George Docking (1957–1961), he was married to Meredith and they had two sons, William and Tom, the latter of whom served as lieutenant governor and ran unsuccessfully for the governorship in 1988. After his service as governor, Docking resumed his former profession of banking in Arkansas City. He donated his papers to the University of Kansas rather than give them to the Kansas State Historical Society, where the papers of his 34 predecessors are stored, with the exception of his father, who burned his gubernatorial papers.

Sir Robert Digby PC(I) (1574 – 24 May 1618) was an English courtier who owned an estate at Coleshill, Warwickshire. His marriage to Lettice FitzGerald, heir-general to the 11th Earl of Kildare, led him to spend his life litigating over her claims to the Kildare lands. He divided his time between local business in Warwickshire and in Ireland.Digby was the eldest son of George Digby of Coleshill and his wife Abigail, daughter of Sir Anthony Heveningham. Robert was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he took a BA, and then as a barrister at the Middle Temple, which he entered in 1595. He received his MA from Magdalen in 1598. Around this time, he married Lettice FitzGerald, the daughter of Gerald FitzGerald, Lord Offaly. They had seven sons and three daughters:Mabel Digby, Lady of Dromana and DeciesRobert Digby, 1st Baron Digby (d. 1642)Essex Digby (d. 1683), Bishop of DromoreGeorge DigbyGerald DigbyJohn DigbySimon Digby, MP for PhilipstownPhilip Digby, married Margaret MooreLettice Digby, married Sir Roger LangfordAbigail Digby, died as a child.Lettice's father had died in 1580, around the time of her birth, and her grandfather the Earl of Kildare had died in 1585, leaving all of his property to his heirs male. She and her husband became increasingly convinced that her grandmother Mabel, the earl's wife, had forged the will in the interest of her sons, Lettice's uncles. After Lettice's last surviving uncle William FitzGerald, 13th Earl of Kildare was lost at sea in April 1599, she assumed the title of "Lady Offaly" and laid claim to that barony and some of the Kildare estates. Meanwhile, Robert was knighted in Dublin on 4 August 1599 by the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and his wife's first cousin.Digby divided his energies between affairs in Ireland, where his litigation against the 14th Earl of Kildare for Lettice's claims became extremely involved, and in Warwickshire, where he was appointed a justice of the peace for Warwickshire in 1601. His family's long-standing connection with the locally influential Knollys family, reinforced by his marriage to Lettice (whose mother was a Knollys), probably helped secure his return as Member of Parliament for Warwickshire in the same year. He was named an esquire of the body to Queen Elizabeth before her death in 1603. During the reign of James I, Digby assisted Sir Richard Verney, then High Sheriff of Warwickshire, in apprehending some of those involved in the Gunpowder Plot in November 1605.Litigation in Ireland over the Kildare estates continued; King James offered to hear the suit in person in 1610, but Lord Kildare declined on the grounds that he could not afford to plead before the English courts. Kildare died in 1612, and Digby had been appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland by 1613, when he sat as MP for Athy but the issue was still unresolved when he died on 24 May 1618. The expenses of litigation had impaired his estate, and he was forced in his will to ask her to provide settlements for their children from the revenues of her Irish lands and a sum of money held by his brother. A settlement was finally achieved in July 1620: Lettice was created Baroness Offaly for life, with remainder to her grandfather's heirs male, and received the manor of Geashill, with 30,000 acres of land, for herself and her children. Her eldest son Robert was simultaneously created Baron Digby, of Geashill.

Robert Dormer, 1st Baron Dormer (26 January 1551 – 8 November 1616) was a 17th-century English peer.Dormer was the son of Sir William Dormer and his second wife, Dorothy (née Catesby).He served as High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1584 and was knighted in 1591. He was returned as Member of Parliament for Tregony in 1571 and for Buckinghamshire in 1593.In June 1615 he was created a baronet, of Wing (or Wyng or Wemme). Only a few weeks later he was raised to the peerage as Baron Dormer, of Wenge in the County of Buckingham. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu, in circa 1590.Lord Dormer died in November 1616, aged 65, and was succeeded in his titles by his grandson Robert, who was created Earl of Carnarvon in 1628.

Robert Dotson was a flatfoot dancer from Sugar Grove, North Carolina; he and his wife, Myrtle, were instrumental in keeping the tradition of flatfoot dancing styles of Western North Carolina alive, and they received the North Carolina Heritage Award in 1994. The couple, who grew up dancing in the same community, made a conscious decision and effort to keep alive the traditional flatfoot dance styles of western North Carolina, deliberately weaving the old-time flatfoot and buckdance steps into their dancing, even when many of their neighbors performed the latest clogging variations. They also hosted their own dances near their home in Sugar Grove.Dancers from around the world would visit the Dotsons in North Carolina to learn what came to be named the Dotson Walking Step. The Dotsons hosted dances at their home and "dance shack," a little house that Robert built across the street from where he lived. It didn’t have many rooms, so there was plenty of open space to dance. Friend and fellow dancer Rodney Sutton began attending these gatherings in the 1970s. He said that they featured a “big revival of young folks moving into the High Country and playing old-time music” – in particular the Corklickers, a band that is still around today.In the 1970s, the Green Grass Cloggers, a touring company based in North Carolina that featured old-time dancing, learned Robert's "walking" step and incorporated it into their performances. The Dotsons were Master Artists in residence during Dance Week at the Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, West Virginia. They earned first prize at numerous dance contests in their section of the Blue Ridge. As part of their commitment to traditional dance, they drove once a week to Elizabethton, Tennessee, to lead square dances and to demonstrate their flatfoot styles.Footworks, a nationally known dance troupe from New York, contacted the Dotsons after learning about their mastery of old-time flatfooting style, requesting to come watch him in hopes of learning some of his moves. The troupe of about a dozen dancers stayed in the cabin’s bunk loft for three nights. They danced every day and every night while they were visiting the Dotsons, and Robert remained good friends with one of the group's original members.Robert Dotson was born on May 13, 1923, to Don and Bina Hicks Dotson; he died on Tuesday, Jan.13, 2015, at the age of 91. Both sides of his family were talented dancers.Myrtle Cook Dotson was born in 1921 and died in 2008. Robert referred to his style of dancing as flatfooting; Myrtle referred to hers as the Charleston, a dance that was popular with women of her generation.In addition to being a dancer, Robert Dotson was a farmer and a skilled carpenter. When he was 14, his father fell off the back of a truck and died, so Robert, as the oldest male in the immediate family, quit school to work and help his mother raise his seven brothers and sisters, according to Rodney Sutton, a longtime friend and fellow dancer.According to Dotson's obituary in the High Country Press, Dotson’s greatest influence was his grandfather, Ab Dotson, a banjo player and buck dancer. When he was younger, the two would hitchhike to Boone to watch a movie at the Appalachian Theatre in downtown. After a while of walking and waiting for a ride, Dotson would tell his grandpa that he was too tired. And Ab would then say, “Let’s just dance a little bit.” Robert's parents, Don Dotson and Bina Jane Hicks Dotson, were both well known dancers in the community. The Dotsons' children and grandchildren have learned from them. Myrtle remembered dancing a lot at home when she was a child, often to recorded music played on an old crank-up Victrola.At the time of his death in 2015, Dotson was survived by two daughters, Peggy Coffey of Lenoir and Annalee Wood and husband Edsel of Sugar Grove, four sisters, Gladyce Bradshaw and Eunice Bushburger of Wilkesboro, Lilly Speaks and Lois Nivens both of Charlotte, and a dear friend, Rodney Sutton of Marshall, seven grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, 20 great-great grandchildren, and 22 nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Myrtle Cook Dotson, one sister; Donnie Burton and two brothers; Charles Walter and Albert Billy Dotson.

Robert Dorfman (27 October 1916 – 24 June 2002) was emeritus professor of political economy at Harvard University. Dorfman made great contributions to the fields of economics, statistics, group testing and in the process of coding theory.His paper—'The Detection of Defective Members of Large Populations' (1943) is a landmark in the sphere of Combinatorial Group Testing. To quote collaborator and Nobel laureate Robert M. Solow—"After starting his career as a statistician—his paper 'The Detection of Defective Members of Large Populations' (1943) is still a landmark—he turned to economics at the moment when linear models of production and allocation captured the profession's imagination." Dorfman co-authored "Linear Programming and Economic Analysis" with Solow and economist Paul A. Samuelson.

Robert Dickson (c.1765 – 20 June 1823) was a fur trader, and later an agent for the Indian Department in Upper Canada, who played a prominent part in the War of 1812.He was born in Dumfries, Scotland where his father was a merchant. When his father's business failed, Robert and his brothers, William and Thomas, travelled to Canada to work for their cousin Robert Hamilton. While Robert's brothers made careers for themselves in Newark and the Niagara peninsula, Robert found routine office work tedious, and was sent to Mackinac Island in 1786 to trade on his own.He spent many years trading among Indian tribes to the west. In 1797, he married Ista Towin or Totowin (Helen Elizabeth), the daughter of chief Wakinyanduta (Red Thunder) of the Cuthead band of the Yanktonai Dakota.During the years preceding the War of 1812, Dickson and other British and Canadian traders were angered by American encroachments into the area where they previously enjoyed a monopoly. As war appeared imminent, Dickson recruited over 100 warriors from the "Western Indians" (from the present-day states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois) and gathered them at the British military outpost at Fort St. Joseph.When news of the outbreak of war arrived, Dickson led a total of 400 Indians in an expedition led by Captain Charles Roberts, which captured Mackinac Island from its unwary American garrison. He subsequently led the Western Indians south to join the British army at Amherstburg, where they took part in the Siege of Detroit, which caused the surrender of an American army. In the autumn following these victories, Dickson travelled to Montreal, where he was appointed to the Indian Department as Agent and Superintendent for the Western Indian tribes.During 1813, he led contingents of Indians at the unsuccessful Siege of Fort Meigs and Battle of Fort Stephenson. In 1814, he recruited fresh contingents of the Western Indians and led them at the successful defence of Mackinac Island and the Engagement on Lake Huron. He ended the war at the captured post of Prairie du Chien, where he quarreled with Andrew Bulger, the post's commandant.After the war, he retired from the Indian Department although, while on a visit to Scotland in 1816, he applied unsuccessfully to be the Indian Department agent at Amherstburg.The war had ruined Dickson's fur trading business. He nevertheless resumed trading, but died unexpectedly at Drummond Island in 1823.
