MOBILE | Alphonse Taylor is a rich man. Not in possessions or material wealth — the largest in a family of six children, “Shank” never had much growing up.
What he did have was a big heart and a loving spirit, an ear-to-ear smile, a self-driven determination, and an infectious nature.
Taylor is rich in love.
He is loved by almost any and all he comes into contact with, especially by the staff at Davidson High School in Mobile, where Taylor is beloved. He's one of them. Not only because he comes from where they do, but because he is them.
