Rev’d Rob also intends to appoint Allan Taylor (from the 8:30 a.m. congregation) as Deputy Rector’s Warden and to re-appoint Janice Douglas as Rector’s Warden. Allan and his parents, Dave and Maureen, have attended St. Olave’s since 2003. He and his wife Krysta have three children, all of whom whom were confirmed at St. Olave’s in the past few years (and two were even baptized here!).
