I was a big Bill fan and back in the day got to visit his shop in Dawsonville. Unfortunately they were at Talledega testing. Met his first wife and shopped the gift shop. Went to the Dawsonville Pool Room also. Friendly people all welcomed this VT Yankee. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long story but some announcer was retiring and recalling stories and this came up. Daly got fired for it and it blew up from there/ The part I hate is Lilly pulling their support. This made National news on some level. Everyone watching now knows who Lilly is so its a win, win for them. They pull there support money, get National publicity and look all justified in doing so.
