Hi guys, for those of you who have talked about Lee Taylor with such high regard, Thank You! He was my grandpa. I can still remember the day we got the call that the water was too choppy and he had crashed. I was and am so proud of him. I still wish he was here today. So yes thank you for posting pics and articles... So blessed!!!
