Gentlemen:
I am sure you will agree that Frank Taylor's death will
be a great loss to the Town of Cortlandville and the County of
Cortland.. Frank has been a dedicated leader and public servant.
He has always had the interests of our township and county
uppermost in his mind. He gave freely of his time and talents.
He supplied top leadership for many years.
I would propose that a suitable plaque and picture be
placed in the town hall in his honour. I would be glad to
head a campaign to collect funds for this program to honor
Frank.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Yours truly
E.D.Steinfeldt
