By JACK TROY
PRAISE THE LORD, MR.
TRAYLOR IS IMPROVING
I am writing a column today about a friend of mine.
He is Humphrey Traylor, senior vice president of the
Bank of Forest Park, and he is slowly recovering from hos-
Mr. Charles Duncan, president of the Bank of Forest
Park, said this week that he hoped everyone would pray
for Mr. Traylor. This has been done, we hear, in large
measure. And Mr. Traylor’s recovery has been pronounced
satisfactory. Praise the Lord!
Mr. Traylor is a great asset to the Bank of Forest Park
and officials look forward to the day when he may return
and resume his old duties.
I have known Mr. Traylor for a long time, from the time
long ago when he was an official of the Citizens Bank of
Hapeville. He was a great asset there and was one of the
area’s most public-spirited citizens as he has been for so
long in the Clayton County area.
He is a hard worker in everything he undertakes. So it
would not have surprised us if he had been hospitalized for
nervous exhaustion.
Our fondest wish, Mr. Traylor, is that you may be back
with us real soon. In the meantime, the rest you are getting
is well deserved. Relax and enjoy it.
Mrs. Traylor is taking calls at the hospital.
