      In the August 15, 2018 issue of The Sabine County Reporter, in a column titled "Tales from Sabine County", his son, Cecil Claude Tatom recalled one story that was commom amongst all his father's former students, the "infamous sodiuma nd water experiment, in which he very nearly blew up the school science lab. Every person I've chatted with has had fond memories of him, and I think he's grinning broadly from the other side."
