I only knew for a couple of days, but I adored him from the moment I met him. He was living in Colorado, but he was from North Carolina. I was so impressed that he and Ed were going to put a plane together from pieces in a box and fly it around. Bill was very professional and just nice all around. Just before they flew off on the last flight, Bill had handed his video camera to Michael and asked him to tape the take off.

I used some of our fish-preserving chemicals and helped Rod clean up a few pieces of jewelry that had been recovered at the crash site.
