It's funny you should say this... I never had the honor to meet or talk with Bill in person either but it feels as though I did. We were looking forward to meeting him at the Baltimore Reunion in 2001 but fate stepped in and that never was to be...I felt like I knew him on a personal level because of the forums. He was such a big part of the friendships that are formed here. I know it's the lighthouses that bring us all here but it's the wonderful people that keep me and I think others coming back.
