Lot of it true on both sides depending on where you were coming from in the community in your dealings with him.  First contact I had with him was at a faculty mtg (sr hi) at which our principal was going to update us on building plans he had been working on with us for over a year.  He said he was going to introduce the new superintendent, who would talk for 5 min and then we would work on the building plans. An hour an a half later Dixon was still talking!  At that meeting Dixon said he was going to retire in five years (2000?)?  At an administrative meeting Dixon and the principal got in a disagreement about the bldg plans and Dixon said if you don&#8217;t like it quit.  Our principal slid his keys across the table and quit at the end of the school year a month or so(?) later.  He was a good principal.  Only one administrator was left after a year or two (and we had some very good ones) and Dixon tried to fire him but the elem. principal won the lawsuit and he is still here.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend emailed me another person&#8217;s view of Dixon&#8217;s years in Faribault: &#8220;Interesting article.
