Our own venerable Bob Dean has put his wisdom on paper and bound it in a book. Swing on by the Williams Visitor Center located at 200 W. Railroad Ave and get you a signed copy. Stop in to the history room while you are there and watch Mr. Dean on a film about the Bill Williams Mountain Men.

Our friend Marv Mason moved on from this earth last evening. He will be very missed.
