I went to Mt. St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, MD., with Bill, and we graduated together. I was also in the marines at the same time. Bill was a great basketball player at Mt. St. Mary's. He was unpretentious, friendly and a great guy. His classmates and friends respected him. I remember the last time I saw Bill. I was coming out of a theater in Washington D. C. We talked, and he said he was headed for Nam. While at Quantico Marine Corps Base, I ran into Marine Mike Long, another Mt. St. Mary's classmate, and he told me that Marine Kip Jarret, a chopper pilot and also a Mt. St. Mary's classmate, picked up and was medevacing Bill when he died in transport. His classmates, friends and loved ones, will always remember Bill. His life was taken in his youth, and he is missed. We should never forget that he gave his life in the service of his country.
