I looked up Mr Dawkins obituary and read the rememberance memorials posted by his friends. I think it's absolutely wonderful that Mr Dawkins has been honored by the naming of the football stadium after not just him, but the life he lived. Well deserved.
I can look back at my school years and remember many staff members that had a positive affect on my life. Whether it be the cafeteria workers, the custodialial staff, or even the grounds keepers, when they took a minute to pay attention to you, to ask you a question, or to give you advice, they affected your life in ways that is hard to quantify, but easy to appreciate.
Thank you to all of the Mr Dawkins out there that are among the unsung heros that help mold and shape our kids.
