Blanton, 27, attended Furman University where he operated a i dormitory barber shop to help fi nance his education. His wife, the former Dixie Taylor of Hender sonville, is a registered nurse. Mrs. Johnson said that another patient told her that knowledge of Blanton's successful surgery caused her to undergo a similar transplant, thus saving her life.
