I was cleaning my drive and found this message. I probably missed it
when it was posted on 4/17, the last day of TAX SEASON this year.
When did Bill (Willard) pass? I first met him around 1962. I think
he was still in High School. The last time I saw him, he was
flagging on #23 either late May or early Jun 1966. I was home from
Wheelus AB (Tripoli, Libya)on emergency leave and rode to Savanna
before returning to Africa. We had a good visit. I sorry to learn
he is no longer with us.
