Bill Turner Goes West

[Ed Sullivan]

Flabob has lost another of its famous citizens in the passing of Bill
Turner on Sept. 26 after his long bout with cancer. Bill was noted for
building a number of Golden Age Racer Replicas including The Turner
Miss Champion, Miss Los Angeles, Howards Pete, The Gee Bee, The
DeHaviland Comet and several others. He was a gracious gentleman and
will be missed by his many friends.

I read the news in the EAA Hotline last week. I saw Tom Wathen at
Oshkosh, where he told me that Bill was in bad shape with cancer.

I know that both Linda nad I will miss him. He had a ready wit and could
charm the pants off a bull dyke!

I sure will miss him...and his Christmas cards...the only I wait for.
