The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 28, July 8, 2001, Article 2 ANA PAST PRESIDENT STEVE TAYLOR DIES On July 3rd, John Wilson reported: "I received notice yesterday that Steve Taylor passed away Sunday night at 11:45 P.M. As many of you know he was on chemo, and I heard he got pneumonia and passed away." The ANA issued a press release later that day: "Stephen R. Taylor, past president of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), died July 1 after a battle with cancer." Taylor, 74, of Dover, Delaware, entered numismatics when he tried to interest his son, Stephen Jr., in coin collecting. Taylor quickly acquired a passion for the hobby, switching to paper money, where he concentrated his attentions. A prolific exhibitor, Taylor set up displays at numismatic events in more than 30 states and four Canadian provinces, winning many awards for his exhibits, including the ANA's Howland Wood Memorial Award for Best-in-Show Exhibit at the Association's 87th Anniversary Convention in Houston in 1978. Always eager to spread the word about numismatics, Taylor was a frequent speaker at ANA conventions and other coin shows... Taylor was elected to the ANA Board of Governors in 1981, and served as vice president from 1985-87 and president from 1987-89. " [Your Editor had a nice chat with Steve Taylor and John Kraljevich at last year's ANA convention in Philadelphia. Steve was a fixture at the conventions, and will be missed.] Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
