I remember growing up in West Park across the street from the Copelands - Bill, Dottie, Jennifer, Heather and John, a very good and decent family. When I moved back to the West Side in the 90's I would see Bill when we went for the Sunday paper. I don' think he changed in 50 years, as sharp, articulate and involved as ever. Children should know when their parents are remembered for the good they did in the community they served. John Pressler
