Dear Anton,
My first thought was that it could be his wife's name but it would seem 
that, unlike his brother with three, Jimmy Dorsey only had one wife, 
Jane Porter.
The only book I can locate, which may throw some light on Jimmy's 
personal life is Herb Sanford's 'Tommy and Jimmy:The Dorsey Years' 
(1972 Arlington House).
I've never seen it, but I'll bet it is in our dear listmate Fred 
Spencer's vast jazz book library.
Kind regards,
Bill.
