Bill H.
I was lucky to see his collection in 1980. Great collection but did he ever marry? Where did the collection go to? I hope some of his friends in the San Francisco, Calif. area got to buy some of it.

Peter, No to your first question. The collection got much larger than when you saw it. It got auctioned off in four auctions, one in San Francisco, one in New York and two in Europe somewhere. The Jerry Wingrove models were auctioned at Pebble Beach. I got a few of the 1/43's. I first met Bill in 1971 and saw the collection explode in numbers over the 36 years I knew him.

Thanks Much, Curtice
I would have loved to lived closer to Bill H. but I never got to Calif. much in those days. I still don't.
