Young and full of wild energy, he worked for JC Rodeo, occasionally getting on some bulls himself. He had 30+ years at Beechcraft in Salina working many different positions until the doors closed. Bill then joined the maintenance team at Kansas State University in Salina. He worked his way up to Production Coordinator.
