I knew Bill when he was at Logan with Pan Am and latter when he was an inspector with the FAA. He would on occasion visit me when I was working a t Eastern Airlines. As we spoke on several times we found something in common,Somerville High. In latter years he called me and asked me if I was interested in the FAA.. And thats were I am now. He was a gentleman and will be missed
