Thanks to Don Cameron for his comments that brought to me parts of Bill's life that I hadn't known, since I lost contact with most everyone after high school---even good friends such as Bill. In senior year a group of us (Don, Bill, George Greene, Alan Adler, and I) often got to Bonds or to That Miniature Golf Place, either as a group or with dates (Bill and I with two sweet, wonderful sophomore girls). As I recall, Bill was the best at timing the rotating windmill blades on the miniature golf course, unfailingly stroking his ball through the tunnel and onto the green. From our class, Bill's death is the first to strike me so personally; good-bye to a good friend and one of the nicest, sweetest guys I've ever known.

Happy b-day and a hello to MDL, turned by you into MLC.
Recently had a 1/2-hour phone chat with Don & Mary. I had lost her cheesecake recipe, and got her to re-send. Heard from the pair that you and Bill were still kickin' it. And 9-21 will catch your age up with mine, young feller.
My campus, where for 17 years I have taught for the Art Institute of California: Los Angeles, is closing next Wednesday, so I just may be 6 days away from retirement; we'll see.
