A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to under estimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Such sad news. Bill was a friend for many, many years. We spent many hours swapping stories and chewing the fat. He was what I would consider one of the last honest, caring politicians.

Bill's knowledge and passion were a tremendous asset to our community. I remember being amazed to find his grad class photo in the hallway at KSS. He was part of the class of '52.

Happy Trails, Bill.

I used to watch his Gold Trails and Ghost Towns show when I lived in Kamloops (about 10 years back). What a great loss. RIP.
