En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing Dr. John "Johnny" Savage. It recounts his life story: a dentistry career spanning decades, Navy service during Operation Deep Freeze in Antarctica, three terms representing Fulton County in the Georgia House, a 1974 run for Lieutenant Governor, and his mentorship of Otis "Jazzbo" Ikner, the first Black male dental hygienist in the United States. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally states that the House commends Savage for his service to his family, community, state, and nation and wishes him continued health. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to Savage.
