Dotty's Story
At Ramsay, I was known as Dotty Becton. My sister, Alyne, was 2 years ahead of me and most teachers thought of me as her younger sister.
After my Ramsay graduation, I worked at Jones & Armstrong Steel Co. in the Summer before going on to Birmingham Southern in the Fall of 1956. Loved Birmingham Southern! but classes were a real shock to me, right difficult!. There I met Jon McEwen Reinhardt, a senior, and we married after his graduation. He went on to Tulane to get a Masters and PhD. in Politics.
With 2 young children, we moved to Winston-Salem, NC where Jon became a professor in the Political Science Department at Wake Forest, then College, now a full blown University with a Medical School and Graduate School.

ister, Alyne, also moved her to raise her family not far away..
After Jon passed away in 1984, I went to graduate school at Bowman Grey Medical School and became a Physician Assistant in 1988 and worked at the Medical School until I retired. Now I still live in the area with my husband, Jake Alspaugh, still working as a building contractor. My two children live not far away, one in Charlotte and one in Morganton.
Life is good, I remained in close contact with Genta Sharp Speakman (passed away several years ago) and Farris Hill and his wife Sharon, who, still live in Birmingham. In the picture above, you can see my garden in the background with the 8 feet high okra plants. Also, my pumpkins are all over the ground. I've got s dog to walk and a kitty that snuggles. I would love to hear how all of you are and how you now view your lives.
