RIP-Bill Freese
Word has just been received that our good friend and local craftsman, Bill Freese has left us for higher ground, safe passage good man and soldier!
Goodbye Bill... He will be missed. I remember asking him in his store if he ever took on an apprentice since I'd love to learn from him. He replied, you cannot be my apprentice but your wife can...

going to miss him
...another life's warrior lost... I'd see him most days at the bakery...in winter, ice-cleates by the door... everyday some kind of tease... "you're up early"... "sure do dress the part"... "get some work done today"... I'm goin' to miss him... I miss him... I miss them all...
