From Facebook: Peter: I always heard that Dr. Pruitt could take one look at you when you walked in and tell you what was wrong.. March 4, 2010

Monica Howard Routzahn: This was a great Dr no matter what time of day or night if you called him he came to your house. I remember he had to get me out of the closet to give me a shot when I was small at Baxter apartments. March 5, 2010

Connie Silliman: When I was six years old I had ruptured appendix (for two days). I had stopped throwing up and was just listless. Mom/Dad called Dr. Pruitt, he came right out and told them to get me to the hospital ASAP, because if they waited until the morning, they would need an undertaker. They didn't expect me to live. Thank God for Dr. Pruitt!! March 19, 2010

Ruth E. Kennedy: Dr. Pruitt's first office was at the old synagouge on A Street in the late 40's. I remember when my sister Jennie Biller Weddle was in a minor accident with Roland (Pug) Webber in 1947 and Dr. Pruitt sutured her upper lip. Oct 13, 2010
