I'm well aware of who he is and what he has done, but big thanks go out to you Lou for writing this up. I can tell you have a great deal of respect, as I do, for Bill. What an interesting guy. And what a humble hero. I really do look up to him. This was a great post, and I hope he has many more years of playing music and spreading the good word. Thanks Lou! Just read your bio of Bill.

This cabin is on the registry of historic buildings in Canada. There are many signatures and route descriptions on the walls dating back to the 1930's. All of it protected by plexiglass. When I told Bill about it a few years ago he got a chuckle out of the image of their signatures protected behind plastic. https://picasaweb.google.com/102315573932734788126/BugsPicasaPictures#5646463049184095010 Took this photo of the original Bugs to Rogers Pass traverse team signature and registry on the wall of the Glacier Creek Cabin.

I thought of him then as a Renaissance Man and still do. He is a fine human being as well as a world-class Mountain skier , climber and folk singer. I was fortunate to know Bill in the early 1960′s.
