I had Mr. Atkinson for US History at Gainesville Junior College. He and I quickly became friends. He was a fine man. I have thought of him often over the years. One of my favorite memories is: a female student started to ask him a question. She became confused as how to address him. He looked at her and said "You can call me Mister, Master, or Major, just don't call me late for supper". I know he will be greatly missed. LTC Fred L. (Skip) Seawell, III US Army (ret)
