Oh No!  Bill was a great friend and mentor for me at Collins.  He bought my
8" Newtonian telescope that I had built by hand, even ground the mirror.
Last time I spoke with him he was going to have the mirror re-silvered and
wanted to know if I had any advice on that.

I'll lift a glass in his honor this evening.
