Very sobering moment when we got word last night. We didn’t know Bill for that long, only seeing him at the co-sanctioned events. He was definitely a character. Was expecting to see him in a couple of hours when we pull into Sycamore.

Officials don’t get enough credit for making these things happen. They’re practically volunteers in most cases (totally volunteers in many). Without them, the show would not go on. They do it for the love of the sport and all too often we lash out at them with our frustrations. Frustrations that probably stem from our own poor decisions. Rest in Peace Bill.
