Memories of Bill will always fill my thoughts daily. Back in the Narragansett/Lincoln times he always give me a punch in the arm and say lets win it. He helped me get my first race track job in the jocks room. He will be the most inspiring trainer for me, my whole life. I witnessed the devotion to his family and Florence and laugh to myself when I think of the OLD DAYS and stories.
