What a lot of people don't know is that Bill's day job for many years was as head of Security and the Graphics Department of Peterson Manufacturing Company in a suburb of Kansas City MO. Back in the early years of this century Peterson was about the largest American maker of truck/trailer lights, and a variety of vehicle equipment items. When I worked in KY, Peterson was the company's biggest customer in terms of volume on the die castings/chrome plated parts we produced. Peterson also made the signal lights for Harley-Davidson motorcycles (and probably still does). I would visit PMC monthly and always could sqeeze some time on the trip to get together with Bill.
