Hey kids, it’s Dad. For today’s Tommylog, I wanna talk to you about my old friend Pat Taylor. Pat Taylor and I met almost 20 years ago when I was running a prepress department at Banta. Pat helped me install some digital infrastructure in our server room. Pat was co-owner of a company called Proactive Technologies in Dallas Texas. One thing led to another, led to another and I found myself in Dallas, in his home, breaking bread with him and his beautiful family. He welcomed me into his home like his own. This is how Pat operated. It’s amazing how friendships like that can flourish. He has always been an avid writer. I love reading what he writes. Because we’ve met in person, when I read what he writes, I hear it in my mind in his voice.
Several years ago, Pat sold his stake in the business and decided to cross the Rocky Mountains by himself on foot. He kind of became a mountain man. His nickname is “Texas Yeti”. He now lives in a remote mountain ranch in North Idaho. he has written a few books, one of which I just ordered and can’t wait to read. One thing I love about Pat Taylor is the fact that he forges his own road. Does it his way. Others may have done it before, but darn it, Pat’s going to do it his way. Pat has a love for life! When you’re around Pat, you cannot help but have a good time. Laughter and amazing stories are the order of the day. We need more of that in our life.
The world needs more Pat Taylors!
