Mrs. Dotson was my fourth grade teacher at Clayton Elementary. I remember her well. She was tough and fair. A good teacher who did her job well. Along with Carlyon Weatherly and Lois Taylor there were three good fourth grade teachers at Clayton Elementary in the 1967-1968 school year. Rest in peace Mrs. Dotson and I hope your family is well (many of whom were my neighbors years and years ago).

Mrs. Dotson was far and away the best teacher I ever had. Hands down. No one else was even close.
