I was so happy to be able to see Ms Hogan when there for an ARC reunion!!! Among other funny stories we shared was how sweet & smart my older sisters, Cecelia & Nancy, we´re and how cheeky I was!!! She put me in my place several times!! Sadly, I returned to Augusta shortly to attend her funeral!! Also I ran into her on Valentine´s Day years before when she had received a cool yellow convertible for her Valentine´s Day gift!! Ms Hogan was one of my Best & most memorable Teachers!!

I remember Ms Hogan from history class at ARC; a wonderful teacher, mentor and someone I greatly admired. Sincere condolences to her family. I'm quite sure she will be sorely missed.

Spurge, you and the family have my most sincere sympathy. You will be in my prayers. Your Mom was one of my most favorite teachers and a wonderful lady.

Sweet sweet Ms. Dolly Hogan,
To those of whom had the pleasure to receive her teachings whether in the classroom or not, you knew you were educated to the finest. The wonderful stories she told of her "Hogans Hero's" while teaching school would bring laughter and joy to your heart. The strength she exuded magnified by the sheer determination she had within taught me and others what "holding on" was really about. To say she will be missed seems too short of a statement for a woman with a small stature, but an enormous presence, so I will just simply say as I have said to her, Ms. Dolly, "Your work is done, so rest on sweet sweet Dolly". To the family I pray for peace as only GOD is sure to give.
Much love and appreciation for who Ms. Dolly was and will continue to live on as.

Dear Spurgeon and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Hogan was a wonderful teacher. She and my mom Dorothy Powell Saxon were good friends. I remember visiting with Mrs. Hogan many times in Augusta with my mom.
