Bill Trout was the Weiser School District photographer for many years. We have such great memories of Bill's big smile and gracious attitude. Besides always trying to make it right for every single student picture, Bill also became one of our school family members. He was always welcomed and we loved to see that big smile walk into the office. We think about Bill often, especially when picture time rolls around. We can only imagine what an absence he leaves for those that were closest to him. Great memories and we're sure he is lining up the angels for a group photo right now.
With warmest regards, Jim Reed, Superintendent of Schools, Weiser, Idaho
