SAMUEL TAYLOR
Sammie (Sam) Lee Taylor
Born July 19, 1928 in Atmore Alabama. As a young adult he left Alabama, settling in Columbus, Ohio working for Liberty Motors Company. There he met and married Sara Anderson in 1959 and they had two children, Shawn and Steven.
He was called to service in 1952 and he chose the U.S. Air Force. He was able to travel the world to such exotic locations as England, Greenland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Labrador, Libya and Africa and various states across the U.S. Sam retired from the Air Force after 23 years and established his home in Lancaster, CA. He worked with most of the aerospace companies on many major contracts and retired from Northrop Grumman in 1997 as a Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) Specialist. He also worked for Air Canada, Boeing & Rockwell. As you can see, he was well versed in the Aerospace industry!
