[HCARC] Al Taylor

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

It is too bad that someone doesn't have the time to be able to sit in on 
these discussion sessions by Mr. Al and record them for posterity.  There is 
an awful lot of practical knowledge that he has, that will someday pass with 
him.  Men and women like him help (sort of like e Reflector does) - there is 
the old way of doing things, the new way of doing things,  and the way of 
doing things that worked then and still would work today.  Mr. Al knows many 
of the "worked in actual use" way of doing things.

> HCARC members will be interested to know that Mr. Al is in the hospital,

> years old.  Today some of the student nurses visited with him because they 
> were fascinated that he was 101 and a half.  He explained how he checked 
> the approved rain gage each day and reported the results to the weather 
> service.  He also explained how he tracks the water level of the river. 
> Sharon, Mr.Al’s daughter, said all of this time spent with the students
