Bill was inducted into the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007. Congratulations coach!
For 8 years we were lucky and proud to be next-door neighbors (at the cottage) to Bill and Ingrid. We loved his acceptance speech, for it reinforced his strong family ties that we observed over the years. He is a fun, dependable, smart guy. And Ingrid is his wonderful 'point guard'. Manitoba is fortunate to have him working with their sports programs. Posted by their American friends, Gary and Laura Lee Melberg Nov 14, 2013
