Memorial Donations to be Matched

Gordon Taylor was a devoted river enthusiast.  His love and respect for Oregon’s rivers was known by all of his many friends who were lucky enough to have known him.

He was a long-time member of the Lower Columbia Canoe Club and organized many trips with members, shared his incredible experience of boats and rivers and inspired many to share his passion.

His last trip was on the Rogue River, September 29, 2008.  While rafting, Gordon had a heart attack and despite the courageous attempts of his friends who came to his rescue, he died on the banks of the Rogue River.

An anonymous donor has offered to match up to $1,500 for donations made to WaterWatch in Gordon’s honor.  If you would like to participate in this very generous matching offer you can do so by making a contribution here.
