To be technical, it wasn't Bob who bought the business, it was Bob and Kurt and Steve together in a three way partnership. Steve left after a while and since then it has been Bob and Kurt together in a two-way partnership.
I would agree that one could say that American Dream guitars have a kind of an historical link to Taylors, but then I would also agree that Martins have perhaps an even stronger historical link to Taylor since they are the ones who invented the dreadnaught steel string guitar in the 1930s and the smaller sizes based on the dread on which Taylor designs are based.
