Bill was a hero of mine. My mother worked many years for "Mr. Roper" and I did during school breaks. He ran a tight ship and always insisted that the "help" stay busy and if nothing else to do, then"sort the socks" Look busy!!! His son Jim is a good friend also. Jim's wife Betty died a few years ago and left a big hole in his life. He is still in
Burley at last count.
