I was an art major with Mr. Falcone. After all these years, I still view it as a key experience that influenced what I've done in life. And it was my salvation from boring stuff like math! Plus, we got to work on the cool Christmas display. I can still smell the rubber cement.

Here's a photo Bill sent me back in the 1990's while we lived in Wisconsin. In the letter he asked me if I was going to attend an upcomming class of 73 reunion. Sadly, I could not go. Bill came to visit us on the 1980's while we lived in Iowa. It was a great visit and we updated each other on all we had done. He accomplished so much and was a distinctive, creative guy. I was about to reach out to see if he was going to attend the 50th. I know he'll be there in spirit. Our Penncrest years were filled with hanging out and listening to the Stones. He had great Mick Jagger moves! And we also got frustrated by 8-track tapes that would not work. I am glad I got to see Bill over the years and see his evolution as a unique, caring and creative person. Peace and love Bill.
