“Are you going to make people call you Doctor?” my 5th grade voice squeaked out as my dad wrapped up his Master’s and began to work on his Ed.D.
At the time, Dad was the Vice-Principal at George County High School in Lucedale, MS, a forgettable place which I wish I could forget even more about. Dad’s boss, the Superintendent of George County schools was, well, I forget her name. Heck, I was in 5th grade and, like I said, Lucedale is a forgettable town.
While I don’t recall her name, I do recall her title, Doctor. And, just as palpable in my memory is that folks around Lucedale seemed to choke a little on the word “Doctor.”

A man accused of murdering 22-year-old Joe Pooley whose body was found in the River Gipping has denied telling a friend that he and one of his co-defendants had “put Joe in the river.”
Giving evidence during his trial at Ipswich Crown Court Sebastian Smith said that Rebecca Crosfield had been interviewed by police several months after Mr Pooley’s death at a time when a lot of people had been talking about Mr Pooley’s death.
“Maybe she lied or made an honest mistake , said Smith.
