R. William (Will)'s Story
Life
After high school, I was the quintessential child of the 60's; i.e.: directionless and drifting. The only problem was that the sixties were over and people were getting on with their lives. After a few years of non-taxing but boring jobs, I enlisted in the Army. You know, "be all you can be." Only it wasn't what I wanted to be...especially since the Viet Nam war was still happening (but winding down). I sort of drifted into bookselling at that time. I worked for Oscar's Bookshop in Huntington (still one of my favorite bookshops although it only exists in memory now) for a couple of years and then went on to work for McGraw-Hill Publishers as a sales rep and a book wholesaler as a sales manager. I've also managed several bookstores both in New York City and Atlanta. I left bookselling and went to work for Bank of America in Atlanta in 1996 and have been...Expand for more
with them ever since. At least I now know my way around debits and credits.
I'm not married, although I've been engaged twice and close to being engaged a third time. It just never seems to work out...sigh!! I'm still hopeful though.
I'm planning on leaving banking in roughly a year and heading out to L.A. I'm currently studying acting at the Alliance Theatre School (here in Atlanta) and have found that I have some talent. Once I take a few more classes I'll begin looking for commercial work which will allow me to get my Screen Actors Guild card which will allow me to get film work. I'll follow in the footsteps of Richard Farnsworth (look it up!!). Look for me in the movies.
That's the neat thing about life. You can't ever predict where it's going. A life bio doesn't stop being written until the person is no longer with us. To be continued...
