I worked with Booker at Dr. King's office more than twenty years ago. I was amazed with his talent and skill in the dental lab, knowing he was working two jobs to support his family. Booker shared with me his experiences while attending MCTS and helped me to understand life as it was for him in Morgan county back in the 60's. I learned things from him about those experiences that changed my life and my impression of the world. I will never forget him or that sheepish smile he always had to...
