Dear all,
I have known Bill Olson for only a few years and, yes, even in this
limited time I learned to appreciate him as very amiable and
knowledgeable man.
His passing away is, indeed, a sad loss for the profession and his friends.
My sincere respects to family and friends,
Bart

>may know, Bill and I frequently lectured together both nationally
>and internationally, so we got to know each other quite well. Bill
>was one of the most likeable, pleasant and intelligent men that I

>materials development and sports medicine education were remarkable
>for a man of his age. I'm sure that the fields of podiatric

>many years to come. I will greatly miss his excellent lecture
>style, his knowledge, his good sense of humor, his keen intelligence
>and his warm personality.

>Good bye, Bill. Thank you for making podiatry a better place for all of us.
