I recall meeting Bill in the 70s. He came to Ojai, opened his jewelry store, and had also established a gymnastics program, which operated out of my Kung Fu school in Ojai. That was the beginning of a great friendship!
I have one of Bill’s original “nugget rings” that Bill designed. and I still wear it to this day.
