Félicitations Bill.

I first had the chance to meet Bill back in the 80’s when he was PERI and the Director of Athletics at RMC while I was teaching French to Cadets. Besides seeing Bill at the gym, I met him regularly on the tennis courts. We had some epic matches!! I was also a regular at the RMC hockey games, even went to West Point a few times. I know Bill was an all around athlete, heard about his talents at softball. A lot of work put in recruiting athletes to RMC. And finally his contribution and his wife Rollande’s involvement with E Veritas. So Bill, congratulations on this well deserved honour!!!
