Yesterday we lost WH. RIP Bill!

It took a few days to gather my thoughts.
Bill came back to soaring a few years ago, having soloed as teenager, then going on to a career and raising a big family. Along the way he was a world class kayaking competitor.
He got back into soaring with great enthusiasm, completing his diamond badge in just a few years.
Bill got into competition with mixed results, but always having a great deal of fun. He was partners in a 2 place self launching glider that was purchase mostly so Nancy could share the experience. She became a pretty good tactician.
As a member of the Valley Soaring Club he was always available to help and served as treasurer and valued expert and adviser.
Bill gobbled up life in huge bites, always with cheerful,happy smile.
We will miss him terribly.
