First my deepest sympathy to the Watterson family. Dr. Watterson was a wonderful person and I know this because he was the first dentist I worked for out of Dental Assisting school in 1980. We worked together until 1983, when I left to have my daughter. I remember interviewing for the job and we discovered we shared the same birthday. :-) I also remember he love his Akita dog, which was a BIG dog. Hope I brought a smile to your face as you read my remembrance. May God continue to bless you all.
