Sranr June 5, 1999, will be a big day for Heniy Taylor. That’s the day he reaches a long-cher ished goal. He will receive his diploma from Emmanuel Bible College and Theological Seminary. Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker is to be the guest speaker. The graduates will all have good reason to be proud but none more than Taylor, who is the oldest graduate in the class, at age 79. While his studies at the Bible School started six years ago, Taylor’s love of learning began in the 1920’s when he was just a boy growing up in south Houston County. He was one of 11 children of Marie and Preston Taylor. “I always wanted to go to school when I was coming up in Elko," he said, “but in those days sixth grade was as far as you went unless you were fortunate and had a way to get to Peny.” Young Heniy wasn’t one of the “fortu nate ones". After six years of walking five miles each way to a one-room school house, and having to cut his studies short each year to work in the fields, he left school. He helped his father who was a farmer and a blacksmith. Still, he had a dream. In a time and place where mules and wagons were still more common than automobiles, Henry Taylor had his eye on the future. He wanted to learn how to be a mechanic. “When I was little. I’d put two chairs together upside down and lay under them, pretending I was fixing a car," he recalled while laughing.

He goes one inch at a time, but he gets where he’s going.’ Henry Taylor For the young dreamer, the hard times of the Great Depression brought the New Deal programs of Franklin Delano Roo sevelt. In his teens, Heniy Taylor signed up for the National Youth Administration program. He traveled to Hubbard's Train ing School in Forsyth to study mechanics. Once he was back home, there was no money for tools and equipment, so he continued to help in the blacksmith shop until 1939. Then he Joined another New Deal program, the Civilian Conservation Corps. Taylor left for south Georgia where he planted out trees, built bridges, cut canals and received still more training in his chosen field. World War II broke out. and Taylor went into the army. There he finally was able to work as a mechanic. “I was like the inchworm," he said, “You know the inchworm. He goes one inch at a time, but he gets where he’s going." Wartime and army service gave the young man from Houston County more training and experience. It also led to meeting his future wife, Dorothy, in Victo ria, Texas. “It was a divine thing," he said, explain ing that he was to be transferred three times, and each time the transfer was See TAYLOR.
