I will never forget my surprise upon learning that the Bill Wise I had read so many posts from and who I envisioned as somewhat of a mythical figure or a sportsman was confined to a wheelchair!! My admiration for the man multiplied by the thousands of percent at that revelation!!!! I had the occasion to exchange one message with Bill when I asked a question about a particular piece I was looking at. I wish I had been able to truly get to know and associate with him. If I had to start ranking I am not sure whether I could ever break the tie between Bill Wise and Oscar Gaddy. Two greats to be admired in my humble opinion.
