PERE  MARQUETTE  BERKSHIRE-TYPE  LOCOMOTIVE  NO. 1225 

President (1977-2003) of the non-profit Community Systems Foundation (CSF), Bill traveled worldwide helping private agencies, governments and the United Nations improve the management of child and family health, nutrition, and development affairs.

Bill’s unfailing optimism, perseverance, and joy of living explain his success in starting new ventures.  He was an inspiration to countless students and to his many friends.
He was a joy to know.

Community Systems Foundation and Friends of CSF donated the funds to dedicate this room as a surrogate for Bill’s true classroom: the world.
