He gave me great advice
In 1967, I was in my 2nd week in VN, Bill was in his 50th. He dispensed this advice, "In a firefight, don't expose yourself; stay in cover and concealment. When your six months in combat is up, come out of the combat zone to a safer staff position." I did that, and it saved my life. In 1968, Bill came back for a 2nd VN tour and was KIA on his way to his command. We miss his sparkling personality and wit.
