Letter to the Editor

Taylor's advice meant success

To the editor:

I have known Herb Taylor for many years, and his passing on Saturday past has caused me to stop and reflect on the influence he's had on my life and no doubt the lives of many like me who worked with Herb at KRCU. Herb always encouraged me to try. Not excel. Not conquer. Not compete. But always try. And so it was that through trying I competed, excelled and conquered.

This letter cannot describe his contribution to Cape Girardeau and the world beyond. This letter is just to say I loved him and will miss him.
