I will always be very appreciative to my Uncle Horace for his tireless efforts to take care of his "extended" family of nieces and nephews by sharing his great talent of dentistry--a true master of his craft and a great guy.
He will be greatly missed.

"Stretch" was my father too. Although he remarried and started another family, he left much of his influence, talent and gifts with his first two children (myself - Becky, and my brother Todd) as well. My story about him will be out in the May 2006 edition of Tim Russert's book - "Wisdom of our fathers". His passing saddened many.

Dr. Blanton, my first dentist, is a mentor and leader to all students and practitioners in his profession. My thoughts are with his family and friends. I am reminded of his kindness, integrity, and service to children as I walk through the campus by the dental school and pediatric hospital here at UT in Memphis.
