Autism blessed Bill with an incredible gift of memory and love for data. He would study the World Almanac and record events and life's happenings in notebooks with out error or omission. He remembered the birthdates of everyone he had ever met. He knew the stats for all the sporting teams that he followed, whether it be the Gillette Camels or the Denver Bronco's, he knew every player, their stats and win - loss records.
