Spirit of Christmas: Donation in Robert J. Vincent’s memory will help Dozier students
ERATH — With the spirit of Christmas in the air, Jackie Vincent (dressed as Mrs. Claus), and her husband Douglas, stopped by Dozier Elementary to offer a monetary donation for the school to buy a wheelchair accessible outdoor picnic table, as well as books for the library.

He attended Dozier Elementary, Erath Middle, and Erath High in the 80s and 90s.
