In 1959, he was granted a baseball scholarship to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona.
Bill is a retired educator and coach, teaching school for 45 years, both in Arizona and Texas. While employed as a United States forest ranger in the summers of northern Arizona, he authored the non-fiction book ‘’Battle at Oak Creek,’’ which reflected the struggles of the forest ranger in trying to preserve and protect the natural beauty of the Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon area. Bill and his wife of 53 years, Barbara, were selected as the 1976 ‘Sedona Man & Woman of the Year.’
In 1978, Bill moved his family home to Texas, where he bought the historic Robinson plantation. In 2000, he was honored as ‘Teacher of the Year’ at the Huntsville ISD. In 2011, Bill published his first book about the plantation entitled, ‘To Live Again’, to which this book is a sequel.vizualizați mai puține
