| I didn’t have Miss Edna for 6th Grade I had Mrs. Gibson. My Daddy had Miss Duncan and Miss Edna for teachers. Miss Edna came to visitation when my Daddy and Mother died. She always called all of us her children even if we weren’t in her class. They were both such special ladies I will never forget. I really liked Mrs. Gibson also and all my other teachers. They were all dedicated to us children. Edith |

| Hi, everyone. Yes, we had wonderful teacher/role models. Can you name all the teachers you had at Dunson? I think I can; First Grade was Ms. Spates, Second was Ms. Caldwell, Third was Ms. Eva Mae Brown, Fourth was Ms. Gardner, Fifth was Ms. Dunaway and Sixth was Ms. Edna Duncan. They all helped me so much. In fact, when I graduated from LHS in 1953, Ms. Dunaway came to see me and tried to talk me into going to college. I told her that me nor my family could afford it but she said she could help me. However, I just couldn’t do that. Not many like those teachers left. They all always dressed so professionally and demanded ultimate respect and got it from the students. Looking forward to the reunion! June |

Jake,
I knew Ms. Edna but was not in her class. I was in an overflow group that went to Ms. Barbara Thompson’s class, this lady did more for me than all the other teachers I was taught by. She spent time with us as individuals and never overlook anyone, no matter what her schedule was. I will allways be thankfull for such a wonderful person as her.

| Wynette, in your earlier post (with the musical note) you mentioned,as so many others have, a great lady, Miss Duncan. Now I never attended Dunson School, I was in the 7th grade when we moved to LaGrange, but when my uncle passed my homeroom teacher at Hill Street gave me the message from Mom to stop by Dunson on my way home and get Miriam and Joe (my sister and brother). That was the first time I met Miss Duncan but she treated me like she’d known me all my life, like she really cared. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I think I missed a lot by not having the opportunity to go there. |

You’re right, Jake, Theo was one of the very good ones. He died a couple of years ago at age 72. He always said he’d worked all his life and didn’t plan to ever retire. He hated doctors, hospitals and anything to do with being sick.He was out of town on a business trip and didn’t show up for an early morning meeting and when they checked his hotel room, they found him. He had had a massive heart attack and we were told that it was very quick -- that’s just what he would have wanted.
As for Dixie and Dunson -- both villages turned out some mighty fine guys and girls. Can you imagine today having a family as large as ours  and all the kids going through elementary school with the same principal? Doubt that that would happen today. I’m actually not sure about my oldest sister (Cumi) having Miss Duncan but I know all the rest of us did and Cumi’s son also had her. I suspect we’re not the only family that happened with. |

| I went to kindergarten at Dunson with Miss Traylor being the teacher...Skipped around the circle thousands of times and played in the band with stick’s and symbles and such...My Aunt Alice Reason Worley took over when Miss Traylor retired as teacher and still has the instruments at her house....Such precious memories of my family on Dunson Villege #5 Cary Street nest door to the Walter Lynch’s...We then moved out in the country on Young’s Mill Road...My Daddy worked as loom fixer and started to work at the mill very young and worked there until his death in 1965...I took Piano lessons from Miss Traylor on the small piano at the kindergarten...Such precious memories... |
