Daughter - Valerie was born on 13 OCT 1957 in Seymour, Indiana 
When I met with Bill in 2008, he was spry and told stories about his family, John Dillinger, etc. He tells of the time he took his dad to visit the Dillinger Museum. His dad was dissapointed and said 'It just goes to show how much the media can get things wrong.' He also said 'Grandpa Taylor did make moonshine - some of the best in the County.'(Al Hart Jr.)
