Talk:Gary Taylor/@comment-33126362-20170917185456

This article states that Gary Taylor spent his early years in Florida. That is only partly correct. My family lived in Howell, Micihigan, from 1943 to 1948, and I attended grades 2-6 tjere. Gary was in the same grade as I, although not in the same class. The Taylors still lived in Howell when we moved away in 1948.

When we first moved to Howell, we rented a house at 816 North Michigan Avenue. The Taylors lived next door. Gary's father, Milo, and his mother, Eleanor, owned a men's wear store in downtown Howell. Gary also had an older brother, Kent.

My brother was a year ahead of Gary and me in school, but he and Gary became good friends. We had not lived in that house very long when my father found a more desirable rental house around the corner at 137 Riddle Street. We were still not far from the Taylors' house, because we could go through the field behind our homes, so Gary and my brother still saw a lot of each other. Gary was sometimes in and out of our house several times in a day.

Gary always seemed to have a mean streak, and I was not close to him. I first learned of his troubles when a relative in New Jersey showed us an article about him in (I believe this is correct) the July 1957 issue of Inside Detective magazine.
