I started to post this in an existing thread, but I figured it would get drown out by all the other posts, and I wanted people to see it.

Mr. Bill put this together and uploaded it right around the time I bought my z06. For all the new members who never spoke with him, this is the kind of effort he put into the corvette community.
Rest in peace man, your contributions to our community will be remembered.

Mr.Bill's slide shows were great. The forum has lost a true gentleman.

I've had a tear in my eye since I first read of George's passing. Even though we had never met he was my "friend" and definitely one of us. He was someone who cared, helped and was always positive. People like him made me proud to be a Corvette owner.

I hope we can all learn from how he chose to live his life. We only get one chance at this and Mr Bill really showed us how to do it!


Thanks for sharing the slideshow!!

Bill put a few of these out over the years, I think some might have been lost during forum upgrades over the years.

It would be great if someone has download copies of them and could repost them.
