Dear Dot, For some unknown reason I was thinking of Dechert and Bill just now and did a Google search for Bill. I was sad to find his obituary from more than a year ago. Bill was a very important mentor to me and we had many good times together. I will always remember him (and you) fondly and only regret that we did not find the time to visit you and Bill in NC. From the other posts it is clear that Bill was well loved and we can’t ask for more. Warmly, Candy
