Self-pity is a trap into which it is so easy to descend when misfortune strikes. To face your adversity and grow stronger as a human being instead of diminishing takes real strength of character.

Tom & Jim Purdey one wrote "shoot to enjoy yourself and in such a way that you are a pleaure to shoot next to all day and you will find that you can shoot all your life and when you can no longer shoot, you will always be missed and your memory remain golden".

Bill's memory remains golden, to those who met him and those like me, who did not. a rare thing.
