Dear David, Wanda, and the rest of the Hale family, Bill was one of the hardest working men I ever had the privilage of knowning. I always looked up to him. If I remember correctly Bill and his dad, came to my rescue when I crashed David's ten speed racing bike on Park Street and lost my memory. They made sure I got to the hospital. I have such fond memories of the years Bill rented our garage for his taxie business and owned the Sinclair Gas Station. His BMW motorcycle and his 50 Ford. Loved going to the Drag races in Sunrise. I also have wonderful memories of me eating at your house, then my house and then the Kennedy's all on the same day. No wonder I got fat! I wonder if David remembers the time we went trout fishing? Could not catch a thing. Had to club the fish in order to bring one home. Wonda do you recall introducing me to country music? I will always remember the fried chicken you made and the sour apple pies. What a wonderful time that was. God Bless you all, Bobby
