    Is there anyone close to Bill that can check on him? He wanted to be on the March vendor list but apparently his phone has been disconnected. Thanks

    He is located in Long Beach I do not have email for him

    Bill's HOME was in Torrance, but last I heard he moved to Palos Verdes Estates to be with his Realtor Daughter.
    I have known him about 50 years.

    His Shop has been sold and moved 1 Block South to where Studebaker of Calif. was, at the corner of Santa Fe and I think 15th. Long Beach.

    I don't think he can sell anymore, he HAS to be in his 90's.

      I know that Bill had moved in with his daughter Paula in Palos Verdes probably 7or 8 years ago and could be more. I heard he sold the business to Tommie Myers who worked for him in the 14th st. shop. I know that Bill had some issues with his heart years ago so hopefully he is still okay as I haven't heard from him in years. Like Rich says, by now Bill has to be in his 90"s. Bud

          I last saw Bill maybe 15-20 years ago, when we ate breakfast together at a SDC Meet in Wisconsin, IIRC. Have known him since the late 1980s. I recall in late 1990s when he and Rick B. wanted me to join their partnership there in Long Beach, but I was headed for Kentucky, upon retirement from the military in 2000.

          Hope he is doing well, and agree he's got to be at least in his 90s.
