Bill and I were neighborhood friends and used to play together. I remember one time he took his dad's car out of the garage when his dad was sleeping and proceeded to drive around the neighborhood when he saw me he picked me up and we went down 8 mile road. Just past Evergreen he went to turn around and ran off the road hanging the car up across the median ditch. When we opened the door to get out, papers started falling out and Bill was trying to toss them back into the precariously perched car when I suggested we scram outa there. We walked home and I don't know if Bill's dad ever found out what really happened to his car but now everyone reading this kows the real story. I will miss seeing Bill at the reunion. Another Bill (Bullock) from down the street on Codding was a mutual friend but I have lost track of him and wonder if anybody knows where he is? We all hung around together as neighbors and did a lot of kid stuff together.
