Ann knew my mom, Marty Dixon, from college and would share stories with me. My favorite thing about Ann was her love of jokes. Everytime she called me, she would start with a joke. I didn't have the heart to tell her toward the end that she had already told me that one. She honored me when she read my book and said how well-written it was. I took it as great compliment coming from a teacher. I will miss her greatly
