    Coach Davidson is a class act all the way. Flomaton will certainly miss his leadership. I know Coach Davidson and his wife, Loretta and you will never meet two people with more class. I hate to see Coach Davidson go, but I fully understand he wants to enjoy life in another manner. Good Luck Coach Davidson and thank you for being such a good and classy coach, and being such a good friend.

    Congratulations Coach Davidson. I hope that your retirement is as amazing as your teaching and coaching career has been. From one of your former players and students. All the best in the world.
