RECOGNIZING DR. PAT TAYLOR FOR HIS 34 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE STUDENTS 
                AT ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL SCHOOL IN MOBILE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JO BONNER

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 9, 2007

  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise to honor Dr. Pat Taylor for his many years of service to the 
students of St. Paul's Episcopal School in Mobile.
  Pat has dedicated the past 34 years of his life to the students and 
community of St. Paul's, serving as a teacher, division director and 
assistant headmaster, and his presence will certainly be missed as he 
leaves St. Paul's to be the new headmaster of Jackson Academy in 
Mississippi.
  Pat's contributions to education are numerous, but perhaps he will be 
remembered most for his role in founding Mobile's Underage Drinking 
Task Force--a citizens group that has publicized the problem of 
underage drinking and works to educate students about the dangers of 
alcohol.
  Mobile's Press-Register even editorialized about Pat saying he ``will 
leave in Mobile a legacy of caring about teens that will be a guide for 
others in the future.''
  Madam Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize Dr. Pat Taylor and 
to commend him for his hard work and dedication to the students of 
Mobile. He is an outstanding example of the quality individuals who 
have devoted their lives to education, and I ask my colleagues to join 
with me in congratulating him on the occasion of his new position as 
headmaster. I know Pat's family and many friends join me in praising 
his accomplishments and extending heartfelt thanks for his efforts on 
behalf of the citizens of Mobile and Alabama's First Congressional 
District.
