In 1954 I lost a tooth filling. New to Savannah, I had no dentist. A woman with whom I worked told me of her cousin who had just opened his practice and could probably see me quickly. I called him - Dr. Taylor. He could, and did, see me that day and I was a dedicated patient of his until he retired. Many good memories of our discussions, political, familial, and life in general. He was a delightful man.

I enjoyed working with Dr. Taylor from 1977 to 1984. Not long after graduation. I appreciate the quality of leadership he portrayed. Cyndi Purifoy Wise
