I first met Bill in 1958, when I started flying speed seriously, spent 2 Calif. nats camped in his back yard. He would tell and show you anything about his engines, planes, fuel etc, and still go out an beat you at the contest. I'll always remember my first and last glass of his homemade potatoe beer, made you want to go hi de ho. He was very gracious to all, I'll miss him.
