Bill and I became friends when Bill was a Technical Sales Rep. for Kodak in St. Louis. We remained friends for many years and enjoyed many martinis together. We both ended up in Rochester with Kodak working as instructors teaching customers and Kodak employees the wonders of photography. Bill and Jean were godparents to my third child, Cliff Kuhfeldt. Bill always wanted two olives in his martini, so I had to one up him and order three. We will always remember Bill and Jean, and we'll meet again later at another happy hour.
