Kay, I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful man. I only knew him a short time but considered him a friend. I enjoyed playing his wife Sarah Henderson at Gunston,. We shared a few laughs along the way. He was a great George Mason. Plantation Christmas will not seem the same without Bill. You and your family are in my prayers. Brenda Hall
