Dr. Bud was a permanent fixture at Brackenridge Hospital, serving as the Chief of Staff of the teaching facility. After serving on the Austin City Council, where he spearheaded the creation of Austin's Emergency Medical Service, he was a volunteer physician to the Austin Police Department.
His practice was located on Sabine Street and he saw many of his patients pro bono.
The world lost a truly great man.
post script: He was to be named Sam Hefner Dryden, but his parents thought it better that he actually be able to choose his name, so they just put the initials S. H. on his birth certificate, so that is actually his "Christian" name.
Bud was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Austin.
