Dixie McGinty

Dear Ouida and Dick,

We were so saddened to learn of the death of your ever-so-accomplished Dixie. What a terrible blow! We remember Ouida from our trip to China and send our prayers and sympathy.

I am heartbroken at the news that Dixie McGinty has passed away. I taught her in numerous classes in historical and Indo-European linguistics at the University of Georgia in the mid to late 1970's. Although I never saw her again after she left Athens, she remains to this day firmly, inescapably emblazoned on my memory: bright, vivacious, in a word, a "character". I believe I gave her some advice pursuant to her Fulbright to Bonn, and I once saw one of her professors there, Karl Horst Schmidt,...

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you Ray and to all of your family members.... Love, Stacey and Johnny Marcum

Our sympathy and prayers to the family of Dixie McGinty!

Dixie und Miles waren zwei großartige Menschen und es ist ein riesiger Verlust, dass es sie nicht mehr gibt. They did so much for a better relationship between American and German young people.
We will not forget them.
from Marist Fuerstenzell, Germany

Dixie was a delightful human being. Her gifts were numerous, and my life is richer just having known her.

Although we weren't blessed to know Dixie personally, your love and admiration for this very special woman helped us to love and admire her too. Her many skills and talents made the world a better place; in such great loss we all suffer. If there is any comfort in your great sadness, it can only be in our trust that she and Myles are now together again.

Dixie, the University of Georgia remembers you!
