"In my home I have a shelf filled with family histories --great grandfathers, grandfathers and grandmothers, my mother, uncles, and aunts, but not a book for my father, Lynn Dixon Taylor. My husband, Monte said "of all your family, you should have your father's history. He was one of the greatest pioneers and a man with very diverse talents and interests." My brother, John, was busy working on another book for our uncle Clarence Taylor, Lynn's younger brother; I complained that no one had written about Dad. Cousin Ken Kartchner, present at the time said, "I assign that project to you." I took up the challenge and this book is a result. It is a compilation of many source. Preparing the book has been enlightening to me as I began to understand and know my father in ways I hadn't known before. It is my hope that my father's children and grandchildren, some of whom never knew my father, will gain an understanding of this great man and the heritage he has given to all of us."
