Bill passed away yesterday evening at home unexpectedly. He was a great man dedicated to teaching, and the 4H kids in particular. Such a great guy will be missed by anyone who had a chance to chat with him.

Don - thanks for listing the 10/31/1965 "What's my line" tv show of Bill. I had never seen it and it was great to watch Bill. Growing 4000-5000 pumpkins at age 16 was quite an accomplishment for him to sell at 10 cents to $1.50.
RIP Bill.
