Hello Bruce:
You wrote an outstanding message about Bill. Thanks. I was fortunate in that Bill was the sort of guy with whom I could always be my curmudgingly self. Yes, he and I had many conversations that were not fit to be heard by an ''outsider.'' We both knew that what we said to each other at the OMA meetings stayed at the OMA meetings.
Now, I hasten to add that we had many conversations that were intellectually stimulating. Yes, he was one smart cookie and could see matters that ordinary folks would not, or could not, see. .
I will miss him. He and I often discussed the trials that would come with advancing age. Little did I know that the end for him would come so soon. I say again, I will miss him.
UMUC has lost a most distinguished professor. He could hold forth with certainty on many subjects. You would be a lucky student, indeed, to be in one of his classes.
So, I say to Bill, RIP. Your legacy created in life, as well as at UMUC, will last for years to come. We should all be so lucky.
BTW, we often discussed his ownership of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock. The stock was up several dollars a share on Friday. Hmm!

Jim and I got acquainted when he and I had classes in Mannheim. He was living in Ramstein's guest quarters when I was living at Frau Jung's place on Fabrichstrasse in Landstuhl. As a side note, Frau Jung's place was interesting. I lived on the top floor, the Rowson's lived on the third floor. Frau Jung did not want the monthly rent to come out of the bank automnatically. So, we had to pay the rent to her personally. Why? She told me that she liked to see us at least once a month; hence, pay the rent to her.. Frau Jung arranged for us to have dinner with her once a month. The Rowson's and I enjoyed these events. Okay, back to Jim. I don't recall how Jim and I got acquainted. We just did. So, Jim and I travelled in my car to Mannheim twice a week. He was a great companion. We swapped stories of our mis-spent youths as well as stories regarding what we were doing for UMUC. On the way back from Mannheim to Ramstein and Landstuhl, we stopped at a restaurant. More stories were swapped. It was great. Okay, now to the point about Jim. I went to the Russian program, which meant that I would be vacating my place at Frau Jung's. Well guess what. Jim moved out of his place at Ramstein and moved into my former place at Frau Jung's. How's this for a story? Every now and then I would see Jim in the military medical center at Landstuhl. .He was now having some health issues. I was saddened by this news. He was a great guy who should have lived forever. May he rest in peace.
