For many years I was privileged to work along side Bill Lake in the Apache Helicopter Engineering Office at the Army Aviation Systems Command. I also have fond memories of Bill, Betty and myself doing many volksmarchs (walks) together over the years. I extend my most sincere condolences to Betty and her family.
