Not until today Mark.

Now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance in the blue ball cap, the dark glasses, and the overall scruffiness of the white and shaggy facial hair.

Bill was a nice guy and a good writer who had the knack of telling a good story just like he was sitting right there beside you... he is missed. - But I could never understand why he eventually sold most all of his Dad's (H.G."Tap" Tapply) stuff... sporting items, signed books from authors and editors who were great friends of his, guns, hunting knives, etc. (I have a few of those items and cherish them.)
He once told me that he didn't place any value on 'things' but placed the most value on memories.
