Bill was the first one to call when the MARA midget series was revived last year. He wanted to be a part of it and he was very enthusiastic about it. He had been part of the original MARA series and I think getting to be a part of its revival meant a lot to him. Many of the newcomers to the sport do not know how much of a showman he was. He was one of if not the first to use dual checkered flags to complete a race and he once flagged a night donned in a full tuxedo. Quite a guy and he will be missed.
