I've not heard from Billy in a long time. Last I recall the degenerative arthritis had gotten so bad that he wasn't able to cast the bullets any longer or even use the computer. Best I recall he was planning to pretty much stop using the computer and pursue other things he could still do without so much pain. He had kinda fallen in with the TC crowd that left GBO and started up a new site I think. Not sure the name of the site they started but if any of you know you might look there for him also. If he isn't posting there either then I suspect he might not be online anymore.
