I met Bill when our future wives, Ceona and Helen, were attending Outagamie Rural Normal School in Kaukauna. As a group, we spent a lot of time together in those days in the late 40s and early 50s but drifted apart in later years. Bill was a true gentleman and it was a pleasure to have known him. My condolences to the family.
