I worked with Billie at Firestone, in the combined offices of "Stock Cutting," and the "Calender Room." In the "Plant" environment, there are not very many people that are enjoyable to work around. Billie was always solid and trustworthy. For about a year, when we would get off from working the night shift, we would go down to Nelson Park and jog about 2 miles every morning. I will be unable to attend Billie's memorial service, but would like to extend my sympathy to the Family.
