Not sure what to say?

Donald, your dad sounds like a wonderful man. I love hearing about his career contributions in education. Sounds like you are cut from the same cloth. What a legacy. My condolences to your family.

I always called him MR Clayton. He was my Algebra 1 teacher in 10th grade at Berry high School. He was one of the best teachers I ever had. Not because I was good at Algebra but because I struggled. He stayed after school to give me extra help. Even though I was a poor student he was one of my best teachers. John Howell berry H S 1968

Deepest sympathy to all of Don's family. He was a gentleman and a scholar who was a valued and trusted colleague.
