Bill, this is a precious testimony to the people most pivotal in shaping who you are and the journey that has gotten you to this crossroad in life. I am so happy you are sharing this with others. I look forward to reading more of this history. All my best to you and all the rest of the class of 78 that are still with us.
Bill, I so look forward to reading along as you share your journey to publish your memoir about your father! Even though I grew up with my parents in my life, there were things about them I didn't discover until they'd passed and I was dismantling their homes—somehow, we never reveal all of ourselves to anyone, maybe not even ourselves. It's a poignant privilege to rediscover our dear ones after they're gone. Cheers!
Bill, although ours is a business relationship, I feel honored to be treated more as a friend. I’m currently in India, and in a few days will be celebrating my fifty year high school graduation with seven of my classmates and four teachers! Reading your column sparked several memories of my own. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to your next post. I like your writing Bill, you obviously chose the right profession. I have enjoyed our conversations as you worked on the book about Dad, they spurred introspection about my relationship with him.
This is wonderful Bill! I am sustained by people's deeper richer stories. Your layering of people and their places in the tapestry of life is just the sort of story telling I like. We are complex and our experiences are constantly nudged by outside forces and old memories. I too grew up imaging how things might have been if my dad was still here. I was lucky to have 15 years of his bold presence before poof, he was gone. I look forward to reading your deeper stories.
Put me in the column of those who are glad you didn't become a banker.
Thanks for adding me to reader list. I'm a fan!
I look forward to reading it! -Gabe

Keep it up.
I am listening for voices like Bill’s. Keep the words flowing. We need the sound of your insights.
