I just completed my book on the history of the Estes Valley Land Trust, and was happy to acknowledge in it Bill's contribution to the Board and achieving one of the first national accreditations. I am sorry he did not get to see the book himself. He is missed.

Bill was a guiding force for the Estes Valley Land Trust. I have acknowledged his contribution in a book about the history of that organization. It should be in print for a minimal cost this year. Anyone who wants a copy is free to contact me.. I may be able to provide a free copy to Bill's friends and family (email: [email protected])

My love goes out to your entire family. Bill was such a kind & intelligent man, with a good sense of humor. I imagine him in heaven with my mom and my dad and my brother, with Bob & Judy Decker and Dick Hannaman, and they are sipping lemonade and talking about Notre Dame, and remembering the good old days in the neighborhood.
