William M. BEADIE

Though we were but friendly "acquaintances" at Williams, now, 60 years later, we had become very close friends......Bill took over an arduous duty to replace Bill Ryan, longtime and revered Secretary of our Class of '62, and did a superb job. And this morning my words here come at the time of Bill's funeral, which feels intimate and appropriate to me. He personally comforted my wife and me all during her son's struggle with 4th stage angio sarcoma, with which our boy is fighting today....
