DD was my mentor as she was to everyone I learned so much from her. I started out in the Head Start program. I was her secretary. She had a staff of family and included me. The program was reorganized. When she passed her principalship, She opened a position for me at the Mitchell School and there was a family, and I also was included. She was loved by all. when she retired, we all continued to be very close friends. I miss her still today and hold her memories close to my heart.
