I most recently saw Bill in person when he made the trip to SearchLove San Diego. I hadn't known he was there until I saw him in the audience as I was speaking - right when I was talking about patents and referencing his work. I was thrilled to be able to stand on stage and credit him in person given the huge influence he has had on my career and hence my life. I think we first met on the cre8asite forums before Distilled had even come into being - and I learned so much from him and fellow experienced industry folks who were so generous with their time and expertise.

Thanks for everything over the years, Bill, and wishing you all the best for a full and fast recovery.
