I was an 8th grader in the early '60s and history student of Mr. Dobson. He was great fun and a wonderful teacher. Very inspiring and always encouraging. My sincere condolences.

Henry and I roomed with Bob Lee during the 62-63 school year, and was quite a learning experience for me. I learned more about jazz and drinking Luzianne coffee with salt in it than I ever expected. He will always be there in my fond memories.

Mr. Dobson, you will be greatly missed. You were an inspiration to ALL aspiring teachers. I really never cared for history until you were my American History teacher. You made the Civil War as well as our judicial system relevant to me as well as other 8th graders. I have many fond memories of your class after lunch. I remember when I began my teaching career at Pryor; you gave me a 'hard' time for teaching math and not history. Sarah, you are in my thoughts and prayers; you were lucky to spend lots of time with our favorite teacher and his fantastic stories.
