Xingu - well said.

Bill is out currently on his book tour. Last week he was at the Citadel and I am not sure where he is this week. But, if you happen to see him around go up and say hello; he is a hell of a guy and one funny mo-fo. He was probably my best friend in the quad-cities after we sniffed each other out at a restaurant one evening.

There is a movement afoot to upgrade his SS to a MOH. I recently wrote and endorsement for this to occur. BTW, the movement is NOT initiated by him, it is by friends in the service and the quad-cities. Bill is way too modest to do any of this stuff.

The book has been turned into a screenplay which is the first step to making it into a movie. I told him I'd want to play him in the film but couldn't ugly myself up that bad!!!

If you ever get to have a beer with him do so, the funny stories of his time in the Mike Force and then in his career in the secret service will leave you laughing so hard you'll be crying. An amazing individual.
