Crossing the bridge

    A group of four people has to cross a bridge. It is dark, and they have to light the path with a flashlight. No more than two people can cross the bridge simultaneously, and the group has only one flashlight. It takes different time for the people in the group to cross the bridge: 
      Annie crosses the bridge in 1 minute,
      Bob crosses the bridge in 2 minutes, 
      Volodia Mitlin crosses the bridge in 5 minutes,
      Dorothy crosses the bridge in 10 minutes.
          How can the group cross the bridge in 17 minutes?
