The AMTA is now in the process of raising funds for TWO bronze busts of Charles E. Taylor. One will go to Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio later next year during one of the University's 40th Anniversary celebrations. This bust will go in the Dunbar Library where there is a replica of the Wright Flyer hanging in their atrium.
The second bust will be donated to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This bust will be placed next two the existing busts of Orville & Wilbur Wright which are on display in the Academy's library. This bust will be donated once the funds are raised and final details are made regarding the Academy's schedule.
The AMTA web site has two seperate links showing the progress of the donation campaigns. Unlike the Steven F. Udvar - Hazy Center bust where names were not allowed to be placed on the base of the bust indicating the donor's names I am talking with both the University & Academy about having them on these donated busts. Again, as information is finalized it will be updated at WWW.AMTAUSA.COM.
If you know of anyone in these two States whom might be interested in assisting in the purchase of these busts please pass along this information. Thank you.
