[SML] Bill's semi-retirement

[Greg Bierly]

I found it interesting the same week of Bill’s announcement, that Delbert Hall also announced his (semi) retirement.  Two highly respected rigging professionals that both made a huge impact on me early in my career.  I wish them both well in their new upcoming normal.  I am comforted knowing that neither one is stepping completely away from the industry.  Thanks
