I worked for Bill back around 1973/ 1974. My high school years. I thank Bill for his patience while I worked from a pump attendant to a mechanic in his gargage working under the guidance of Don, his lead mechanic. I went on to have a succcessful career in the Automotive industry for 45 years. I got a BS degree in Automotive Parts and Service Management. Without working for Bill I doubt that would have happened. Thanks Bill! I am sorry I missed seeing you as our lives moved on. I always wanted to stop by the Getty Station to say Hi, but those days passed, but not the memories. Thanks!
