I knew Bill well when we were both at Exeter. Recently I was going through old letters and found several he’d written me, including even one he’d written to my mother.  These brought back a lot of memories of our close friendship, and made me wish I’d kept up with him. I looked him up and was very saddened to discover he’d recently passed away. I recall his gentleness and decency as well as his depth even back when we were teenagers. Also his intelligence. One vivid memory is of him reciting T. S. Eliot’s “Portrait Of A Lady” in front of the entire school at Assembly. He was participating in a competition for dramatic reading. Don’t remember if he won, only that his recitation was terrific, emotional and yet controlled. My condolences to his family and all who miss him.
