Bill was my SCUBA instructor when I was the ripe old age of 15- and accompanied me on my certification dive in Seneca Lake. In JANUARY. We both froze our you-know-what off, but that experience took away some of the awkwardness and self doubt from a goofy kid. Forward to age 18 and a happy patron of the Elbow Room, I felt like a real honest-to-goodness adult-as Bill treated me like one. I’ve moved away since then, but only have fond, respectful and happy memories of interacting, learning and being inspired by him.
