Dianne,
We are sorry to be so late to learn of Bill's passing. Bill's past accomplishments were a source of pride to his Pocahontas family. We offer our very best wishes to you at this difficult time.

The first thought I had on hearing about Bill, was how he would
make Mr. Croft mad in economics just by asking questions.
Funny the things you remember. Where does the time go?
Deep thoughts & prayers

Diann,
Kay and I are so sorry about Bill. It's a shame it takes this to stop and think about the times we spent together, living large and enjoying life. If you stayed around Bill, he made sure you enjoyed life. You and your family are in our prayers.
