Bill entered Princeton from Harrodsburg (Ky.) High School and joined Campus Club. He accelerated and earned a degree in chemistry at the end of 1943. Bill entered the Army Specialized Training Program, which enrolled him at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his medical degree.

He retired from private practice to teach at the University of Colorado Medical School. After retiring from teaching eight years ago, he and Frankie enjoyed travel, eventually visiting more than 100 countries.
