and/or now attend. Zach is a freshman pre-med student at Baylor University, and Nick and Sara are high schoolers. Wife Lonelle is a native of Denver City, Texas. We have been married for almost 30 years. Lonelle is retired from hospital management and the insurance industry. We now operate a home-based business at Holly Lake Ranch, about 30 miles from Tyler and Longview. We trade stocks on the NYSE and, thanks to today's technology, can continue to trade while we travel. Hawaii, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest are our favorite spots. CHS classmate Kenneth Mangham lives a few hundred yards down the road from us and 1957 CHS grad Terry Shumate was also a neighbor until his untimely death last year. The Lord has richly blessed the Taylors. One of my greatest blessings was to be a Carthage teenager in the 1950s, which was maybe the zenith of our country's history. The next decade ushered in the decline that has brought the USA today to the brink of total destruction by godless, socialist and communist leaders. Please join us in praying for America's return to its former greatness.
