April 12, 2023 at 2:03 pmBill,
Thank you for your service, your skill, and your support.
Thank you for giving my your “permission” when I asked that one day.
Thank you for your healthy distrust of the “Government” and always giving us things to think about.
We didn’t always agree but we always worked it out.
The world is missing a critical presence this week.
Peace be with you.
