Toni Ray Patton

I married the man of my dreams (Mr. Dragon 1982) in 1987. Due to his Navy career, we have lived in Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, and Florida. He has retired, and we now live in Georgia. I work at Clark Atlanta University, so if anyone has children attending the AU center, tell them to look me up.

The funniest memory I can come up with is when Ernest "Spanky" Patton was in Ms. Wilson's geometry class with some headphones on. This was the year everyone was getting the Sony Walkman, and Smitty showed up with one in class that day. So Ernest asked to see how it sounded. He put on the headphones, and unknown to him, Smitty slowly turned up the volume, and the louder the music got, the louder Spanky talked, right in the middle of class! When Ms. Wilson turned around and started asking what was going on, it was so hilarious! You had to be there.
