William's Story
Graduated Univ. of Akron 1956 with a BSEE. Married Bettie Young in 1955. Had two children, Bill (1956) and Linda (1957). Moved to Milwaukee after graduation and worked for General Motors.

and a lot of others were sold to GE in the mid-1980s. Retired in 1993 and made myself an annoyance around home. We had a wonderful life through all our marriage.
Wife, Bettie died in 1999. Three years later, I met a nice lady, Jo White at a business meeting. To shorten a long story, we were married in March 2003 after a year of courtship. We are still on our honeymoon and have traveled extensively from then to now (Sept. 2009). Our health remains good and we consider ourselves very blessed and lucky.
Today I have one wife, two children, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren plus one dog.
