What the yearbook said

Willy is one of those memorable characters we are likely to meet once in a lifetime. The reckless twinkle in his eye and mischievous grin emphasize one of the most pleasing personalities in our class. And as a member of our faculty once put it, "He's almost too good a guy for his own good!" Outside of "Squeedunk", Willy's main interest lies on the snow-covered slope of the north country.
