5. Memories of Bill coming to Terang and playing Basketball with us in 1965-68. Also sat with Bill at the May races along with Charlie Thorne for over 10 years in the public stand. He loved the May carnival, he also trained the odd Greyhound and rode as a jumps and amateur jockey. Deepest Sympathy to Bills family.RIP Bill.
