Ice, Bill did mentor me via the internet and I even became a subcontractor to him and him to me. I did metal prep work on bad guns he didnt want to grind on and He did engraving touchups of existing markings for me. I am unsure why he was so kind to me, I dont really believe he planned to use me as a sub. He knew I had gotten laid off from my Civil Engineering job a month after the trade towers were hit and the US economy did a nose dive. And he wanted to help me. I am 55 and plan to do this for many years, the good Lord willing, but I dont have any plans to train my potential competitors at present. The economy could tank again and pickings might get slim so for now, no mentoring but I dont rule it out in the future. It saddened me when Bill died but I wrote him one last email a month before he passed to thank him. He was truely kind to us.
