Sorry to hear of the passing of classmate Bill after graduating some 60+ years ago. From the information in the obituary he got great pleasure from outdoor activities and enjoyed many friend and activities in Texas - avoiding the brutal midwest winters. Hopefully we can all have a class reunion up in Heaven some day.
