I did not really know Bob Williams. I do however know Douglas Tate (SPAH 
President after Bob Williams.) Douglass is one of the only old school 
chromatic players (classical player to boot!) that has been a constant pal 
of both 10 hole & button camps. Many a late night hang has been supported by 
Mr. President.
Plus he's a Brit, they speak our language ya know!

So maybe it is the BOD?
