my favorite teacher, he once told us in class he didn't care what it was but learn something new every day - since that day I've tried to do just that - so far so good -Paulette Robertson (Shreve)
Mr. Cotton was a neat teacher. I remember the day he was in a wreck coming to school in the fog,he was hit head on by someone passing another car in that thick fog.I was sad, as well as a lot of other students.He pulled through.I think it was my Jr. year.

I was amazed to discover that I had moved into Mr Cottons' area. We farm ground not far from where he lived. My first memory of him was my freshman year, he helped me find one of my classes, don't even remember now which one it was. He was always so nice.
