BILLY WAS IN HIS SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL WHEN HE CONTACTED POLIO. AT THIS TIME THERE WAS VERY LITTLE KNOWN ABOUT THE DESEASE AND HE BECAME PEARLIZED FIRST ON HIS RIGHT SIDE AND THEN HIS LEFT. HE LOVED TO CATCH BIRDS OF PREY IN FACT HE HAD TWO RED TAIL HAWKS, GREAT HORNED OWLS, AND VARIOUS OTHER CRITTERS AS RATTLE SNAKES. HE ALSO LIKED TO LIFT WEIGHTS. IN ORDER TO FEED THE BIRDS OF PRY HE HAD PERMISSION FROM THE TOWN TO CAPTURE WILD PIGEONS THAT CONTINUALLY MADE A MESS AROUND THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND WOULD TAKE THEM TO THE BARN AND RELEASE THEM. OF COURSE THE BIRDS OF PRY WOULD HAVE THIER FEAST.
Billy was interested in the heavens, he found the plans on how to make a telescope. using materials found around town, the only items he had to purchase was the lens and the eye piece it worked very well. After his death most of his belongings was donated to the High school as a micro scope, weight set, and a few other items.
