Bill and I were casual acquaintances until junior year when suddenly we became very close. We were each battling our own demons, and the demons were winning. He pursued his many interests with total ferocity and was the most well read person I had ever met. He could plum the depths in any barroom discussion, of which there were many. He didn’t return to CC for his senior year, instead going back east to get help regaining control of his life, which he did. We kept in touch until the last time I saw him in 1972, living in Paris with his wife, a lovely lady also from New Richmond, WI. The Moveable Feast made a wonderful venue for a memorable reunion. 15 years passed, and then I saw his death notice in the Voice. Way too young; knowing him was a brief, shining moment for me.
