I met Bill many years ago when he was working at the Golden Spike National Historic Site at Promontory Summit, Utah, and I was reporting for the Box Elder News and Journal. We immediately connected and remained friends for many years. I will miss his dry humor and easygoing nature, and intelligent conversation on any subject. Many condolences to his children and grandchildren. The world has lost an amazing human being.
