Happy Birthday Bill, Hope to SEE you again soon. At Wisconsin Thunder Brian Metzger and I had breakfast with you, and I have quoted you many times since then. "Better to be seen, than viewed", said Bill Long, my Canadian friend. I didn't know I was going to lose Brian this past January, but you were so right. See your friends as often as you can!
This is a clipping from the Burlington Post, a local news paper where Bill lives, thought you would want to read about your beloved friend, THE RENEGADE!
"News just in "THE PARTY HAS NOT ENDED. A wild adventure which started on June 4 2019 in the downtown area of Burlington Ontario was broken up in the residential streets, by police, after it spilled out from the homes of local residents.
A quiet get togeather held at the home of a Mr Bill Long, quickly grew to epic proportions, as he started to be rambunctious and adventurous. To be the organizer of the wild and crazy party was a minor description of what the Police described of the mayhem which insued. It took 8 cruisers and 32 officers to round up the revelers. Mr Long had.organized a "right -up fling ding", as he described it, with motorized wheel chairs, walkers, canes, whoopy cushions, water balloons, cazoos and streemers.................................
We the Boys here in Burlington LOVE our RENEGADE "LONG BILL" he is actually the guy we wish we could be when we grow up, to have the adventures, the stories, the experiences, the history, the sh%t disturbing he may have done when he was younger.
Must have been my evil twin, Wally. I live seven floors up in a condo and those guys would have had problems getting here. Sure sounds like a great party, though! mine was a little quieter and we didn't invite the cops!
