Title: Latest bulletin
Post by: Fid on July 28, 2018, 11:22:08 PM
It's been a busy few days but I did want to comment that when I read the most recent bulletin I was sad to learn of Bill Dalzell's passing.  He was a good guy and in my opinion represented the best of the best in this hobby we all enjoy. He used to be a regular participant in these forums and chats.

He will be missed.

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.
