(The plaque above was dedicated in Al's memory, and is located
at the Campbell-Savona Elementary facility in Savona, NY.)
The Alfred H. Taft Scholarship is awarded to the Campbell-Savona High School graduating senior who displays interest in pursuing a career in the military, computer science, and/or aviation fields.
Born and raised in the Savona area, Al Taft graduated with distinction from the Savona Central School
in 1983.
Collegiately, Al studied computer science at The Citadel, a military college in Charleston, South Carolina. Upon graduating in 1987, Alfred Taft was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
He served his Country proudly as an Air Force Navigator.
On October 4th, 1989, near Perth-Andover, New Brunswick, Canada, Al died tragically during an Air Force training exercise that also took the lives of his three crew members.
Through this scholarship, we honor his memory and values -- presenting Al's fine example to tomorrow's leaders!
Alfred H. Taft: one of Savona's true... "VALIANT SONS"!
