WILLIAM ROBERT GARGIULO

It's been almost 60 years playing under Bill's guidance, & I still think of him with a big smile & great fondness.

You chided me for not practicing, because of a dislocated patella. I remember you saying you popped yours back in during a game.

A plenary indulgence is forthcoming.
