Taylor and Jamie are the author and photographer of Open Doors: Vietnam POWs Thirty Years Later, a traveling museum exhibit and accompanying book of photo portraits and written profiles of 30 Vietnam-era POWs. Open Doors takes an intimate look at these men - the longest-held group of POWs in our nation's history - as husbands, fathers, sons and brothers. It is a tribute to their individual persistence in the pursuit of personal and professional happiness upon their return from Hanoi, echoing the comments of Commander Paul Galanti, U.S. Navy (Ret.): "There's no such thing as a bad day when you have a door knob on the inside of the door."

The exhibit debuted at the Coronado Historical Association in San Diego in August 2002. It is now on a nationwide tour. Tom Brokaw featured Open Doors on the NBC Nightly News and the exhibit has received extensive coverage in the Virginia Beach Virginian-Pilot, The Weekly Standard, and the Alexandria Gazette.

Taylor, a graduate of the University of Southern California and Northwestern University, is a former Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy - the third generation in her family to serve in the military. Jamie is a Meredith College graduate who majored in photography.
