Remember him as a "Pain-in-the-Ass" Usher at the Cornell Theater. No free rides there, baby. And at Warner Brothers, he was always missing, but could be found, helping some stunning New Actress find her way around the Lot..................

Spoke to Bill last year . . . he mentioned his serious health issues but was upbeat and as funny as ever. He teased that he might even "crash" our 40th reunion. (I wish he had!) RIP, Bill!
