Hi Reta,

Thanks for your note. I ran into Walter a couple of years ago and he showed me some pictures from “back in the day” Beyond amazing.

I sent your note over to Willie Williams who is a friend of mine. He came back with this, which I thought you would enjoy.

From Willie Williams:

I was checking to see what I could find out about Walt & Bill Williams and the Trans Canada Hell Drivers, then moved on to the Willie & Sherry Williams and partners site and that led me to this opportunity to reply. In April 1992 I was on a 28 day California bus tour and who else but Hell Driver Walter Williams and his wife Janet were our Driver/escort for those 28 glorious days!!! Some time later we caught up to them again when the Hell Driver’s were in Owen Sound, Ont. (near Walkerton) where I live and Walter took us to Dairy Queen for Banana Splits and a visit afterwards. Years later my friend I was with on the bus tour was visiting her husband in the London hospital and Walt was there visiting Bill who was a patient there and I expect that was when Bill died. Is Willie Bill’s son? As Walt will now be 87 does he still attend shows as I see there is one in Tillsonburg in Aug.. Just checking, wonders never cease! Reta
