Condolence: Dr. Dixon didn't just teach me History. He taught me how to think critically.
All my sympathy,

Condolence From: Peter Graves
Condolence: I was so sorry to hear of Dr. Dixon's passing. He inspired me to love and study history, and much of what I learned about teaching was from studying under him and the all too brief time during which I was privileged to be his colleague. A genuinely kind man with a terrific sense of humor, he has often been in my thoughts over the years. He leaves an enduring legacy.

Condolence From: Quentin McGown
Condolence: An educator's legacy is the legion of young minds he helped shape. Ford Dixon was a true master at his art and hardly a month has passed in the almost 50 years since he taught me that I haven't invoked his lessons, his humor and his spirit to guide me. I know there are countless others who feel the same. Blessings to Mary and the family, and deepest thanks for sharing him with so many.

Condolence: I have many fond memories of Ford, including Dixonball and a Tandy 4P computer. I enjoyed many conversations on education and military service. I always enjoyed our friendship.

Condolence: Condolences from Johnny Johnson,
Mary, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Ford and I taught together at Montgomery High School where we had coffee together every morning and solved the world's problems. He was a prince of a guy with a great sense of humor and a brilliant mind. May God hold you close during the days ahead.

Condolence From: Theresa Adair Lawrence
Condolence: I will always deeply appreciate how Guncle and Aunt Mary kept in touch with me in the years after Daddy Dick and Kay died. I am proud to have followed in his footsteps as an educator and hope that I have even a small portion of his great sense of humor. Who else but Guncle could've called me "Tsetse Fly" and gotten away with it?
May the great memories help to heal these painful times. With love,
Theresa
