Col. Taylor was a joy to be around, well versed on almost any subject. He had a dry humor that would catch you off-guard and always brought out the best of any audience ... one person at a time. You never had any doubt the Colonel was delighted to see you. He was an Ambassador of Joy to everyone he encountered.
