Swearing in

New Caddo School Board member Dottie Bell held a 10-year-old Bible Tuesday when Judge Carl Stewart of the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals gave her the oath of office at the Caddo School Board meeting.

There is no doubt The Book means a lot to her.

“It is the Bible I carry with me and read all the time. I don’t go anywhere without it. It goes in my car. I have certain scripture marked,” said Bell. “(Caddo District Judge) Michael Walker gave it to me. He had my name engraved on it.”
