Bill Frickel concludes:
“Back in Montana, I returned to the job I left with the railroad in 1942. I married my sweetheart Violet on August 23, 1947 and we were blessed with five children.
I retired in 1981 and spend my time woodworking - especially making toys, and I do a little fishing. Yep! It’s a good life!”
