I worked in the same CPT office in Winnipeg and remember Mr. Taylor as a strong, mild mannered, dedicated gentleman who was a pleasure to work for and with being Asst. Regional Accountant/Customer Services Supervisor at that time. I have fond memories of the twenty years in that great working environment. - Posted by: Gerald Polson (co-worker) on: Jun 09, 2015
