One thing I've noted over the decades is when someone retires in Manning, they seem to work as hard as they did before retiring and Bill Opperman was no exception.
Here are a few pictures I found of Bill volunteering with various projects.

Typical size of the time which showed up fine on 640 x 480 monitors of the time.
