Bill is a new resident at the Mansion, he lost his wife of 62 years last year and had to give his beloved terrier Duke away when he came to live in the assisted care facility. He worked as a chef for the last 20 years and misses his wife every day. He talks a great deal about Duke, who he trained to get the paper.

He is very grateful to see Red and yesterday asked if I could bring him one of my books. I brought him Second Chance Dog, the story of me, Maria and Frieda. Bill’s address is The Mansion, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
