Default It Is With Heavy Heart.....
..That I report to you...that a long time C5 owner and Forum supporter, Mr. Bill, is in the hospital, here in Sparks, Nevada, in very grave condition. Mr. Bill and I have been close friends for 45 years. To say he has influenced my life, is a bit of an understatement.

As many of you know, Bill is a great photographer. So good in fact, my daughter, who is one picky little (sic) girl, asked him to shoot her wedding last August, and he did a great job!

A couple of pics of Mr. Bill and his C5!



Mr. Bill at Salmon Creek Falls





Mr. Bill at Sierra City Park

I will keep everyone here up to date on Mr. Bill's condition. I am sure your prayers will be appreciated!

Joe
