hand in anything going on that is good for the community. Bill was a member of
a crew
That served aboard a B-24 bomber in Europe in the
Second World War. Then as now, he did his duty as he saw it- then back home he,
with the help of his wife, continues to serve- beginning at their on home where
they have raised two fine daughters and extending it to their church, Bill is a
successful business man, has served as
Mayor of his town, a member of the council and somehow finds time to take an
interest in working with the Boy Scouts, Bill and Geraldine PETTY are still
