To Kathy, Jennifer, and Joseph:
Your father, Henry Taitt, holds a special place in my memory, because he and his wife Nancy impacted my daughter, Robin's life markedly when she was a Girl Scout. Both of your parents poured their time and resources in such activities/teaching as camping, sailing, astronomy and others. Also Henry was a vital part of the local youth tennis program and Creative Programming. I appreciated your parents' investment into the lives of our area youth.
Thank you heartily!
