We will both miss Bill. He was a good friend. His smiling face and gentle attitude will be missed by all the members of Tattler Post. Bill was a trustee of Tattler and was just reelected to fill that position again. He did a great job for us and it will be very difficult to find someone in the post that will be able to do the job as well. If there is anything we can do to help you in you hour of sorrow please let us know.
