One of Mr. Davis’ favorite memories from his career was when he retired as a principal. A parent painted a caricature of him on the wall of the gymnasium, carefully noting some important characteristics of Mr. Davis: his ponytail, the Birkenstocks he wore every day, his ever-present walkietalkie, and his signature power tie. In addition to this memorial of him, every student in the school walked into the gymnasium with their own creation of a necktie. Mr. Davis says, “I still have some of those neckties…I was really at a loss for words.” Says Mr. Davis of his life, “It’s been a long adventure. I feel like I have led a lot of lives.” I would add that Mr. Davis has affected a lot of lives along his journey, and will continue to do so for a long time through his current work at Pittsboro Baptist. ★ You can visit us online!
