Mrs Nixon was my tennis teacher. A role, among many she embraced. I was young, and she was patient with the group of children that she introduced to tennis in St. George. It's funny that at 47 years old my fond memories of learning tennis with Dorothy endure. I think, this is a testament to her character, and I extend my deepest condolences to the Nixon family.
