Florida Trend magazine listed Doc Dockery ’61 as one of the most influential Floridians in 2005. Doc in his passionate drive to realize his dream of a high-speed rail system in Florida, brought his ambitious plan to the public. He chairs four businesses in total and contributes his time to at least fifteen political, civic and fraternal organizations. He is a former editor and publisher and a trustee of Florida Tax Watch, a statewide watchdog for citizens’ tax dollars.

“After a rewarding and enjoyable eight years of service in the US Air Force, coming to FSC in 1959 was a great opportunity to transition into a new career. The foundation for that transition was uniquely provided by a wonderful cadre of professors and friends. They have my everlasting enthusiastic thanks for all they taught me.”
